Youtopia

In the individual, virtual-reality-like mind space of Youtopia, “Immersers” can live in their own perfect world, but chaos ensues when an Immerser is murdered inside his Youtopia.

Youtopia is dead—long live Youtopia Reborn. Limited now to minors, the expanded mindscape worlds of Youtopia Reborn cater to the ill and unwanted, the children left behind by society. When Youtopia creator Sonya Young goes mysteriously missing, her abductor leaves a harrowing message: “Reborn for All.” Lane Samson, a former Youtopia Immerser and local reporter, receives a strange voicemail from an old friend who claims to have secrets about Sonya Young’s abduction.

Finally, the perfect worlds of Youtopia can be shared with loved ones, allowing Immersers to live out their dreams together... until those dreams become nightmares. Youtopia has reached its culmination in Infinity, a shared mindspace that offers collective perfection. Within the system, however, lurks a mysterious presence—the Harbinger—who warps perfection into the perfect killing grounds.
