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!

This book is like a Black Mirror episode. With how fast AI has been growing over and taking over jobs; it’s not far fetch to see “meta children” being a possibility in the future. I found the book at first engaging but after the first half I became bored of the characters. It was also pretty unbelievable how there were so many random connection between characters.
