In Cixin Liu’s Three Body Problem and the rest of the Remembrance of Earth's Past Trilogy, the aliens called the San-Ti or Trisolarans are hostile to humanity. They pose as gods to subjugate humanity. This plot line has a kind of precedent in the Apocryphon of John, a text formerly called gnostic. They ask the question: What if God was evil or malicious?
If you liked the Three Body Problem Netflix show, The Dark Forest, or Death’s End, or the work of New Testament Dr. James McGrath, you might appreciate this perspective.
