Summary "Blind Spot" by Bascom Jones, Jr. is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. Set against the backdrop of a Martian settlement, the story explores themes of discrimination and social relations between Earthlings and Martians. The book delves into the complexities of interplanetary governance and the ramifications of societal prejudice as it unfolds in a futuristic setting. The narrative follows Johnny Stark, the director of Interplanetary Relations for Mars' Settlement One, as he navigates his professional responsibilities while grappling with personal dilemmas. Stark's life becomes increasingly complicated when he discovers tensions sparking from a Martian's discontent with the New System, an oppressive regime affecting both Martians and Earthlings. As Stark prepares to announce his engagement to Carol, the daughter of an influential leader, he faces the harsh reality of societal biases, culminating in a confrontation that forces him to confront his own blind spots regarding race and identity. Ultimately, the story weaves together personal aspirations and broader societal conflicts, making a poignant statement about equality and understanding in a divided world.
