I cannot find it, but this reference wouldn't be misplaced in older science fiction works, where humans are templates of an advanced civilization's creation engine (along with other species that have evolved sentience).
Or even from Halo, although there humans are--spoiler spoiler spoiler--"exalted."
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoDunno about older sci-fi, but I'm reminded of the short(~100 pages) story All Tomorrows by Nemo Ramjet where humanity is genetically transformed by an alien civilisation into various other human-ish species across the galaxy, as slaves in a vast empire. Alt Shift X has a good audio version of it on youtube. It definitely hits an interesting nexus point between existential sci-fi and Lovecraftian horror, highly recommend it.
