Description
The world's population is soaring, creating overcrowded cities and an economic crisis. In the UK, breaking point has arrived: a growing number of people can no longer afford to start families, let alone raise them.
For those desperate to experience parenthood, there is an alternative. For a monthly subscription fee, clients can create a virtual child from scratch that they can access via the metaverse through a VR headset. To launch the initiative, the company behind Virtual Children has created a reality TV show. It will follow ten couples as they raise a virtual child from birth to the age of eighteen in a condensed nine-month time period. They must compete for the right to keep their virtual child or risk it all for the chance of a real baby.
Some families are virtually perfect... Set in the same universe as John Marrs's bestselling novels The One and The Marriage Act, this is a dark and twisted thriller about the ultimate 'tamagotchi' — a virtual baby.
