This one was different than most sci-fi I read, but I liked it a lot. With the rise of AI this is becoming more and more relevant.

Phenomenal! I couldn't put this one down. A little bit of Hunger Games, a little bit of Surrogates plus some EdTV and you've got yourself a really riveting story.

5 couples and 1 single man participate in a 24/7 reality show where they are given a virtual child to raise. The winner can keep the child or choose to "delete" them and take the money to try to conceive a biological child.

My favorite of John's so far!
