From the acclaimed author of The One and The Marriage Act, The Family Experiment is a dark and brilliant speculative thriller about families: real and virtual.
Some families are virtually perfect…
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.

REVIEW:
To what lengths would you go to have a baby? If you wanted a baby so badly, so passionately... how about, putting your whole life out there, in public, to be in a reality show to win a chance to have a baby!
This is the premise to this sci-fi, dystopian thriller- set in the futuristic virtual reality, desperate clients are chosen for the most anticipated virtual reality tv show. This story was hands down, my fav of 2024. Each client has this dark secret which made it so hard to put down. Had to keep turning the page to see who or what is going to happen next.
Another thing I loved is how the "audience chat" was included so you were really immersed from the tv show , producer, production level to the audience level.
