I read them all as they were published.

I listened to them about 8 years ago and still loved them

I today's ai world, then might be slightly aged, but the technology of the Otherland world is still at least 20 years ahead of us

Is this the correct order for the prequel?

1. Brothers of the Wind
2. The Burning Man
3. The Spinterined Sun
4. The Lady in the Wood
