The family experiment : a novel / John Marrs. by Marrs, John (Freelance journalist). Hanover Square Press, 2024. Call #: FICTION MAR Subjects Reality television programs -- Fiction.   Parenthood -- Fiction.   Virtual reality -- Fiction.   Overpopulation -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781335000361 (hc.) Description:  374 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "The world's population is soaring, creating overcrowded cities and an economic crisis. And in the UK, the breaking point has arrived. A growing number of people can no longer afford to start families, let alone raise them. But for those desperate to experience parenthood, there is an alternative. For a monthly subscription fee, clients can create a virtual child from scratch who they can access via the metaverse and a VR headset. To launch this new initiative, the company behind Virtual Children has created a reality TV show called The Substitute. It will follow ten couples as they raise a virtual child from birth to the age of eighteen but in a condensed nine-month time period. The prize: the right to keep their virtual child, or risk it all for the chance of a real baby... Set in the same universe as John Marrs's bestselling novel The One and The Marriage Act, The Family Experiment is a dark and twisted thriller about the ultimate Tamagotchi -- a virtual baby."--Publisher.
