5 Stars • In The Family Experiment by John Marrs, set in a dystopian Britain where overpopulation and poverty push couples to raise virtual "MetaBabies" in the Metaverse. A reality show pits contestants against each other for the chance keep their AI child or enough money to get a child through IVF, adoption. or other means. As dark secrets unravel—hidden children, corporate exploitation, and ethical dilemmas—the novel explores parenthood, technology’s dangers, and voyeuristic media. In true form, Marrs leaves us with a chaotic, twist-filled climax. #DeliciouslyDystopian

The impact is substantial when you realize how fast AI is developing and what we are slowly but surely approaching because of its improvement.
