“Youtopia… will leave you with your jaw on the floor. This is definitely an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will have you questioning what is and isn’t real… The characters are amazing, as unique as the plot, and highly believable. The twists and turns will leave you speechless… This is one of the best sci-fi books I have ever had the pleasure to read, something very different in the genre, and I can’t wait to read the next installment.”
Anne-Marie Reynolds, Readers’ Favorite (5 Stars)
“Youtopia – Reborn is an absolute page-turner that combines mystery, sci-fi, and heart-pounding suspense in a way that feels incredibly relevant to today’s world. This book is more than just an exciting read—it’s a thought-provoking look at technology, society, and human connection.”
Nino Aldi, The Voice


“This is the best book of the three. Ana Downer is back on the case. Another murder within the virtual world of Youtopia. Sonya Young’s having flashbacks, and both Bruce and Saeed are back; even Paul makes an appearance. Joseph Rein constructs the murder mystery itself well, using the technological aspects of this world to create a trail to follow which would be impossible without the technology, entwining the two together.”
Iain Benson, Author of Yesterday Pill
“Everyone who writes short stories is a hero to me. To use an economy of words—and space—to distill feelings while also telling a story has to be difficult. Joseph Rein shows us how it’s done in his debut collection Roads Without Houses.”
Mary Ann Grossmann, St. Paul Pioneer Press
