The Sci-Fi Slaves: Humans. You all know what a human is, right?
The Situation: In a dystopian future, our primate ancestors have evolved speech and advanced intelligence and subjugated us to their wills. Of course, this is a surprise to a time-traveling astronaut who winds up there in the original film. The few humans that remain are either hunted for sport or used for the most demeaning manual labor. Last year's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes posited the spark that ignited this blaze of simian rebellion as an Alzheimer's drug developed by James Franco.
How Bad Do They Have It? Fairly bad. The work is grueling and humans are second-class citizens, but the worst part is having damn dirty apes put their hands all over you.
