Summary "Native Son" by T. D. Hamm is a science fiction novella written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Tommy Benton, who is the son of Martian colonists visiting Earth for the first time. As he navigates the challenges of adapting to the heavy gravity, bustling city life, and cultural differences of 21st-century New York, the narrative explores themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of family expectations. The plot centers around Tommy's struggle to fit in on Earth while feeling a strong pull towards his Martian home. Despite the initial excitement of his surroundings, he quickly becomes overwhelmed by the new environment and the perceived ridicule from others regarding his unique appearance and Martian background. Tommy longs for home and feels increasingly alienated as he faces the prospect of living on a planet that feels foreign to him. The climax of the story builds on his rising anxiety and loneliness, culminating in a tragic moment of misunderstanding that leads to a heart-wrenching conclusion, leaving a lingering mystery about identity and the true essence of humanity amidst technology.
