They Are Only Humans

They Are Only Humans is a disturbing and thought-provoking science-fiction novel that turns humanity's relationship with animals upside down. In a world where humans believe they are free, living ordinary lives filled with love, family, work, and dreams, a terrible truth hides behind the illusion: mankind has become livestock for a superior extraterrestrial civilization known as the Anethos. Raised inside vast virtual worlds designed to preserve the illusion of freedom, humans are unknowingly bred for their meat, milk, skin, and other products by the powerful corporation Happy Human. Through the tragic story of Charlotte and her family, the novel explores exploitation, consciousness, grief, morality, consumerism, and the terrifying banality of violence when it becomes normalized by culture and tradition. By forcing readers to see humanity through the eyes of farmed animals, the book confronts ethical questions about domination, empathy, and the price of convenience in a deeply unsettling yet profoundly human way.
