Summary "Fugue" by Stephen Marlowe is a science fiction novelet likely written in the early 1950s. Set aboard a space ark that has been traveling through interstellar space for millennia, the story explores the complex societal dynamics between mutants and non-mutants within a self-contained environment. The narrative delves into themes of rebellion, identity, and the quest for deeper understanding in a static civilization facing internal strife. The protagonist, Ker-jon, is a bio-technician who grapples with recurrent dreams that disturb his sense of normalcy, suggesting an underlying conflict about his identity and the societal oppression around him. As Ker-jon becomes embroiled in a revolutionary plot led by the mutants to overthrow their rulers—known as the Mutant-makers—he faces betrayals, misunderstandings, and the realization that the revolution may lead to merely swapping one form of tyranny for another. The climax of the story centers on Ker-jon's internal struggle, culminating in a violent confrontation. Ultimately, through chaos and unexpected alliances, the characters navigate the complexities of power dynamics and aim to establish a new order based on cooperation and shared knowledge, paving the way for a hopeful future as they discover the true nature of their journey through space and the meaning of unity.
