Summary "Colony of the Unfit" by Manfred A. Carter is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a dystopian future where Earth has exiled its sick and disabled citizens to Mars, the narrative explores the harsh realities of this prison planet and the societal implications of directed evolution. The book delves into themes of eugenics, morality, and the value of human life. The story follows John Greely and his companion Hilda as they navigate the unsettling transformation of their society and the drastic measures taken against the afflicted. After being sent to Mars, they face the chilling reality of being part of a population deemed 'unfit' by the Earth leaders. The novel unfolds as they struggle for survival against both their Martian environment and the controlling forces of the Martian society, ultimately confronting the ethical dilemma posed by their existence. As John and Hilda explore their new world, they encounter various characters, including doctors and fellow exiles, who bring to light the complexities of moral choice and the importance of compassion in a world that has prioritized physical perfection over humanity.
