Family Product Experiment

The Family Experiment, from the same bestselling author of The One and The Marriage Act, is a gripping speculative thriller that delves into the world of families, both real and virtual. Some families appear flawless from the outside…

In a world where the population is rapidly increasing, leading to overcrowded cities and economic turmoil, the UK has reached a tipping point. More and more individuals are finding it difficult to afford starting a family, let alone raising one.

However, for those yearning to experience parenthood, there is a unique solution available. By paying a monthly subscription fee, individuals can create a virtual child from scratch and interact with them through the metaverse using a VR headset.

To introduce this groundbreaking concept, the creators of Virtual Children have devised a reality TV show named The Substitute. The show will showcase the journey of ten couples as they nurture a Virtual Child from infancy to adulthood, all within a condensed nine-month timeframe. The prize at stake is either the opportunity to keep their virtual child or the gamble of pursuing a real baby instead.

Set in the same world as John Marrs's popular novels The One and The Marriage Act, The Family Experiment is a chilling and intricate thriller that examines the concept of a virtual baby, akin to the ultimate Tamagotchi experience.
