Have you caught I, Robot? It reminds me of George Orwell's Animal Farm, only that instead of pigs, it's robots.

Humans keep dreaming up stories about other species trying to dominate them. Personally, I think it stems from an insecurity complex. Somehow, even with all that we have achieved as the dominant species, deep down there is still fear that a better species is out there.

Remind me to tell you about The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.
