What could be worse than letting billions die?

In the near future, to escape the crush and clutter of a packed and polluted Earth, the world’s elite flock to Atopia, an enormous corporate-owned artificial island in the Pacific Ocean. It is there that Dr. Patricia Killiam rushes to perfect the ultimate in virtual reality: a program to save the ravaged Earth from mankind’s insatiable appetite for natural resources.

The Atopia Chronicles (Book 1 of the Atopia series) is the tale of mankind’s dark slide across the apocalypse as humans and machines merge in a world teetering on the brink of ecological ruin.

About the Author:

After earning a degree in electrical engineering, Matthew Mather started his professional career at the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines. He went on to found one of the world's first tactile feedback companies, which became the world leader in its field, as well as create an award-winning brain training video game. In between, he's worked on a variety of start-ups, everything from computational nanotechnology to electronic health records, weather prediction systems to genomics, and even social intelligence research. In 2009, he began a different journey, returning to the original inspiration for his technology career—all the long nights spent as a child and teenager reading the great masters of science fiction. He decided to write a scifi novel of his own, and the result was The Atopia Chronicles. He divides his time between Montreal, Canada, and Charlotte, NC.

Review:
"A great start...in just a few pages (Mather) introduces you to believable future and a character I immediately identified with." —Jason Weisberg, Editor of BoingBoing

"The futurism of William Gibson...dark images of Phillip K. Dick." —J. Johnson, Amazon Vine Voice

"Will grip you in its wordy talons. If this book doesn't make you want to bury your smart phone and live amongst the Amish, nothing will." —Redfern Barrett, SCI-FI Methods Book Review

"Echos of Gibson and Stephenson...the Matrix meets Ready Player One meets Apple Computer..." —Daniel Leithhauser, Amazon Vine Voice
