Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Ethical Way" by Joseph Farrell is a science fiction novella written during the mid-20th century. The book explores the complexities of ethics and morality in the context of interstellar relationships and societal hierarchies. Its narrative follows galactic beings who, while attempting to save a doomed Earth population, establish a system of servitude that questions the nature of ethics itself. Set against a backdrop of galactic colonization, the story follows Jarth Rolan and Lan Barda as they rescue survivors from Earth’s irradiated environment, ultimately taking them as slaves to their own society. Initially framed as a benevolent gesture, the arrangement reveals deeper implications as the enslaved humans navigate their new reality. As Jarth and Lan rationalize their actions with a veneer of ethicality, the humans, including Laurent Crotier and his family, grapple with adapting to their new lives, raising children, and cultivating a sense of identity within an oppressive system. As the narrative progresses, themes of exploitation, power dynamics, and the perception of freedom versus bondage emerge, painting a complex picture of an "ethical" way that ultimately feels hollow and self-serving for the galactic beings, highlighting the inherent contradictions within their moral framework.
