Well, and once you get started on fiction, there's Ursala LeGuin's The 
Dispossessed and Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time and - in an odd 
sense Sherri Tepper's The Awakeners (or North Shore / South Shore) about 
a society which survives by having its priest class organize all of human 
society so it can serve as food for the enormous winged original 
inhabitants of the planet - the priests - in return get blood from the 
birds which gives humans extended lives when they drink it periodically.  
Yumm!
