The Hauntings of Playing God by Chris Dietzel

4.0

One day there were no more healthy babies -- only Blocks, humans born with the ability to breathe and blink but unable to feed themselves or move or communicate. Dietzel's book follows one old lady as she cares for these Blocks as she has done for her whole adult life, and his alternately musing and frightening novel covers the topics of religion, loss, purpose, life, and hope. Too much was lacking in the way of science (where did the food come from, why were they taking care of the Blocks in the first place, etc) so I wouldn't recommend it to scifi fans, but I would recommend it to someone looking for a creepy story that makes you question your definition of life.
