The world’s population is soaring, creating overcrowded cities and an economic crisis. And in the UK, 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
This is another great read by John Marrs. It’s inventive and original plus being easy to read. The book is well paced and with revelations revealed as the book progresses much more is discovered about the ‘parents’ of the virtual children.
I enjoyed this book. I’m not usually a sci-fi fan but anything by this author I am happy to read. He just has this way of conveying the future as totally believable and not too far out of reach of the present. The twists continue throughout the story and it has a terrific ending twist.
My thanks to #NetGalley and #PanMacmillan books for this free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
