So, I asked several real life friends, and they don't know it, so I decided to ask MU, since you guys answer my requests all of the time.
So, I'm looking for the name of this one book I read several years ago.
Its about these people that live in a giant dome, and they live life not knowing this, but they're secretly being filmed for a reality-tv show because all of the people up there(not in the dome) are bored to death, they also do not know that they live in a dome. So, for several generations these people have been watching the people in the dome fight for their lives against different monsters the people have pitted them against. Its futuristic, but the setting of all the main characters is in stone age times, since that is the time that they are set to live in, in the dome.
Then, one of their filming devices, or something, crashes.
And thats all I remember.

Just have to say, that sounds a lot like the Truman Show, w just a little more sci-fi. Now I'm curious too 😀

It sounds a lot like "The Hunger Games". Except for the part that the people doesn't know they are being watched.
However, the book you are describing sounds interesting.

I've read The Hunger Games before, and I know for the fact that isn't it.
Thanks, though.

I think she's talking about a book (literature), not a manga.

It's really a lucky guess, but if you can't find in any other ways I'd suggest you to try to give a look here

Haha, actually I'm looking for a book pretty similar to that.
The story was that, sometime for a reason I don't remember, but it was like for show. People lived life like back then and people in the outside can watch them (sort of like a live show at a museum). The adults know the truth and when people get sick the parents would ask for modern medicine from the people that pay them. But the children live in there like it's there real life and one day the people decided not to provide medicine anymore or something, so the daughter of a family escapes, trying to look for help. But since she knows nothing about the outside world, she just keeps running and asking people for help and things like taht. I TOTALLY forgot it, but I really enjoyed the book, so I wanted to read it again.

I tried, but I don't think its any of those.
Thanks though.
Kan; for the first couple sentences, it kinda sounded like Past Watch; The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card, but I don't think it is, judging by the later half of your post.

Kan I remember that book I read it in school as part of the curriculum. I will search and see if I can find it. I believe a girl was the main character and it won an award.
Update:
This book is called Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix
