The Atopia Chronicles

With so much great sf&f on recent release, and so little money to fund my habit I took a punt on "The Atopia Chronicles" by Matther Mather as it is basically six books in one.  I was more than pleasantly surprised at the outcome.

Released as individual short novels these six books tell the story of the society of Atopia and their professed desire to save the world through technology.  Set in a slightly optimistic view of the late middle of 21C, a fusion of nanotech, AI and virtual reality has enabled humanity to live life in private or consensual realities entirely of our own choosing while leaving our bodies to be watched over by phantoms of loving grace (to steal a beautiful phrase), or Proxxis.
