humans treaten like animals in scifi stories

[robot17]

more examples, but few....

wow, just found more examples:


The Wild Boy
Rochelle, Warren

Humans have domesticated animals for thousands of years; in this novel, a spacefaring race descends on Earth to domesticate humankind. The Lindauzi came to Earth at the turn of the millennium with a mission to breed humans to become their emotional symbionts. Technically superior, within a generation the Lindauzi dominate the Earth, running a breeding program designed to produce humans capable of full emotional symbiosis. This is the story of Ilox, a human raised by the Lindauzi, his banishment and adoption by a tribe of wild humans, and his eventual reunion with his Lindauzi bond-mate, Phlarx. While alien invasion is a common plot in science fiction, this fresh voice breathes new life into such a story, focusing on the theme of what it means to be human.


Wolfling
Dickson, Gordon R

A human among aliens. When the galaxy is overtaken by superior beings, the inferior humans are treated as wild animals — wolflings. Our hero, the Wolfling of the title, learns to survive and exploit the weaknesses of the superior race to help humankind to survive.

here aliens raise a human baby like if the baby were a pet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo's_Egg_(novel)

here the aliens domesticate humans like pets and even put some of them in euthanasia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Boy

http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/wildboy.htm

here a race of super humans or homo superior see humans as we see the animals and even for them having sex with a baseline humans is out of the question because for them is like having sex with an animal/zoofilia.

Seconding "The Mount" by Carol Emshwiller. Awesome book!

There's also that one Twilight Zone episode where aliens invite people to their home planet and ... I guess the twist is easy to discern from there.

right now I'm reading that "the mount" novel, many reviews says the novel is good even though the author never explain so many things that happened in the novel.

the scifi tv series from 1998 Prey this subhuman species homo dominants consider humans like chimpanzees or lower animals. and treat them like that too.

How 'bout Gulliver's Travels?

In Gulliver's last journey he stayed with the Houyhnhnms who were horses and the animal-like creatures were the despised Yahoos. (I assume that his last journey was to Washington DC.)

Galaxy Slaves by PhD Ben R.

http://www.smashwords.com/extreader/read/5824/5/galaxy-slaves

another scifi story were some humans are tamed for slave work and food and the wild ones are hunted for sport and also for eating.

i think is a RPG book, I'm not sure.

 

[robot17]

found another novel with a similar ploth as autor Wells's time machine with this trope:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sime_-_Gen_Universe

http://www.simegen.com/sgfandom/rimonslibrary/cz/cz11/overview.html

in this vampire novel humans are slaves animals too:

here is another example of this flick:

http://freespace.virgin.net/diri.gini/hunger.htm

http://trashotron.com/agony/reviews/stableford-hunger_ecstasy.htm

i think both novels are the same thing but with differences and all from the same autor.

 

[robot17]

i found a video game were a alien race conquer earth and treat humans sort of like lower animals and put a some kind of force field that prevent humans from breeding and have children, i think that force field suppress human sexual desires:

http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Combine

in the blade movie 3 the vampires also were thinking of harvest humans for blood like animals.

and in here, in the vampire kingdom rpg campaign also humans are threaten like animals:

How about "Of Men And Monsters" by William Tenn , where people are like mice to the alien invaders.

i read somewhere in a review that in this novel the alien have humans as slave too, is that truth?

 

[raggedyman]

It's been a long time since I read it but I remember the aliens were huge and humans lived in the walls of their houses so they treated us just like we treat mice.

 

[Omphalos]

Seconding "The Mount" by Carol Emshwiller. Awesome book!

There's also that one Twilight Zone episode where aliens invite people to their home planet and ... I guess the twist is easy to discern from there.

To serve Man. That episode was based on a short story by Damon Knight.

Loved The Mount too.

 

[Land of Nod]

Interesting topic!

I don't know of any good examples I've read recently, but I remember as a very young child, when I first saw Planet of the Apes, the sort of visceral . . . fear I felt at the thought that there could be a species that would subjugate humans like that.

And here's the Porno for Pyros song on the topic for anyone who may have been too young when it came out . . . or maybe just forgot about it:

[Land of Nod]

Here's one that just popped into my mind. Does anyone remember the old "Land of the Giants" TV show?

Not quite treated like "animals" but I think the themes were similar to the type of stories we're talking about:

up there, this vampires in las Vegas they literally breed and drink and eat human flesh like if they were animals and now there is a second book of this novel a sequel.

West of Eden, by Harry Harrison

Harrison has created a stunning what-if' scenario what if the dinosaurs had not become extinct, but had gone on over millions of years to create a civilisation based on bioengineering? Sounds a trifle far-fetched, but just think how far mankind has come in just a few thousand years: what might another enterprising species not have done, given an extra seventy million?

The great brontosaurs, theropods and ceratopsians are still there, but they are small-brained and are hunted and herded by the ruling reptiles (Yilane), which are lizard-like, walk erect and live in great cities that they grow from vegetation. Because of climate changes, the Yilane are colonising another continent, and are setting up a new city there. But this has brought them into contact with humans (Ustuzou, who are at the Cro-Magnon stage of development, essentially like us but hunter-gatherers), and the inevitable conflicts arise. The Yilane regard the Ustuzou as vermin who must be exterminated and the Ustuzou are not overjoyed either.

I haven't finished it yet but it is a decent story. The intelligent dinosaurs have advanced bio-tech and the humans are primitives.
