Dr. Patricia Killiam is rushing to help save the world from itself by giving everyone everything they’ve always wanted. The questions is, is she unwittingly saving the world only to cast it towards an even worse fate as humanity hurtles across the brink of forever. What could be worse than letting billions die? In the future, be careful what you wish for. The Atopia Chronicles are an exploration of the meaning love, life and the pursuit of happiness in a world teetering on the brink of post-humanism and eco-Armageddon. “So great, I wish I’d come up with it myself… the Atopia series is one of those that will stick with me for the rest of my life.” “Will grip you in its wordy talons… Atopia is genuinely chilling. So many sinister twists… if this book doesn’t make you want to bury your smart phone and live amongst the Amish, nothing will.” “The futurism of William Gibson… dark images of Phillip K. Dick.” “A great start… in just a few pages (Mather) introduces you to believable future and a character I immediately identified with.” “Do not miss this hit series by Matthew Mather.” “Loved every minute of it… definitely try this series.” “Best science fiction I have read this millenium.” “If you like that wild edge to sci-fi…” “Mesmerizing… I have literally been in awe of this book.” “Echos of Gibson and Stephenson… the Matrix meets Ready Player One meets Apple Computer…” “An excellent read. A whole future culture defined…” “Atopia Chonicles were the best reading I have had since Wool.” If you would like to be added to the "advance reading" list for my next novel, please email me at http://mailto:matthew.mather@phuturenews.com

Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME focuses on life after the apocalypse

Robots. Androids. Artificial Intelligence. Scientists predict that the “singularity”—the moment when mankind designs the first greater-than-human intelligence—is nearly within our grasp. Believe it or not, truly sentient machines may be a reality within as little as 20 years. Will these “post-human” intelligences be our friends? Our servants? Our rivals? What will we learn from them? What will they learn from us? Will we allow them to lead their own lives? Will they have basic human rights? Will we? Science and society will be forced to address these questions sooner than you think. But science fiction is addressing these questions today. In THE ROBOT CHRONICLES, thirteen of today’s top sci-fi writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology

Порой самые страшные бури происходят не по вине Матери-Природы, порой самые худшие ночные кошмары рождаются не в голове… Майк Митчелл, обычный житель Нью-Йорка, трудится изо всех сил, чтобы содержать свою семью, но внезапно он вынужден сражаться, чтобы его родные остались живы, когда все более и более странные цепочки катастроф появляются в новостных сетках по всему миру. Когда рушится мир настоящий и мир кибернетический, меняя восприятие и реальность, ужасающая снежная метель отрезает Нью-Йорк от остального мира, делая из него снежную могилу, в которой никому нельзя доверять и все является далеко не тем, чем кажется…
