Human Connections and Artificial Companions
This chapter examines the intricate relationships between humans and animals, especially pets, and how these connections differ among species like dogs and cats. It also highlights the societal shift towards artificial companions, like sex robots, and the potential emotional implications of such relationships, particularly their ability to fulfill or hinder genuine human bonds. Personal anecdotes from a visit to a sex robot brothel further illuminate the unsettling realities of these interactions and their ethical considerations.
