Trying to read Human Domestication Guide again, and it’s got me thinking about The Worthing Saga. The superhumans in TWS basically domesticate the regular humans, although it’s treated as completely nonsexual. Their ancestor who founded their civilization comes back, and when they consider domesticating him, he points out they never domesticate themselves because they don’t want to lose all their neuroses and traumas. So they freak out and stop domestication. Then a former pet wants to make the point that they should still use their powers, just not as much. She sets herself on fire to force one of them to save her.
