Summary: "Exploiter's End" by James Causey is a science fiction novel produced in the early 1950s. Set on a distant planet where humans and alien beings known as Terms coexist, the story delves into themes of individuality, exploitation, and cultural conflict. The narrative explores the complexities of labor dynamics in a futuristic society, raising questions about autonomy and the essence of progress. The plot revolves around Jake, a cost analyst at an interstellar manufacturing plant, who grapples with the ethical issues of employing the Term race for their labor. As he navigates workplace politics, he encounters Harvey, a newcomer disillusioned by the company’s practices, and Don Carmody, who orchestrates clandestine manipulations within the plant. Tension escalates as the Guild, a group seeking to liberate the Terms, infiltrates the plant with a thought-control agent targeting the workers' minds, igniting a conflict over individual identity versus collective existence. Ultimately, Jake must confront both external threats and his own beliefs about liberation and progress, leading to a harrowing conclusion where personal and societal ideals clash violently—leaving the reader pondering the nature of freedom and control in the relentless march of civilization.
