The Marriage Act by John Marrs


It is set in a dystopian future in which AI is rising at an exponential rate. Making Britain better necessitates improved health and economic conditions. To do this, the government is pro-marriage and has been requested to disseminate the benefits of the Marriage Act. A modern housing area was built as a Smart Marriage home, allowing Audites installed in their own homes to be judged and experience firsthand the complexities of these married couples' relationships. The Smart Marriage demonstrates how out of control life has become, not only destroying marriages and communities through gentrification, but also discriminating against those who refuse to upgrade, cohabiting, single, and bereaved inhabitants. 

The premise of this novel piqued my interest. The stories are filled with extraordinary supporting characters who question society's notions of government propaganda. Despite the blurry line between what is ethical and what is not, the story concludes with a moral.
