In future, you get your own mini-human as your pet. How cute, I want one!
I stumbled upon this novel today, and the title caught my interest. It's called 'My Pet is a Human' by Amy Lilwall/艾米·利尔沃. It is a sci-fi novel which took place in a dystopian future where human adults started neglecting their offsprings in pursue of their own indulgence. The government tried to remedy the loss of parent touch and lack of companionship with producing foot tall humanoid as a mini playmate for these lonely children.
I have a strong interest in human as a pet theme. That is why I must read this at all cost. From the blub alone, I feel that this book could be what wish for such a theme and that it would be an engaging read.
