Cox is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows the crew of the spaceship "Olympus" after they crash-land on an unknown planet, where they encounter a primitive tribe that reflects the earlier stages of human evolution. The book delves into themes of civilization vs. savagery and the ethical implications of cultural evolution and interference. The narrative centers around Captain Theusaman and his crew as they grapple with the challenges of survival on this alien world. After initially encountering hostility from the local tribe, they manage to establish communication, leading to a merging of societies. However, internal conflicts arise, particularly between Theusaman and Baiel, a crew member who seeks to impose a system of belief and control over the tribe. As they assist the tribe in evolving from their primitive ways, Theusaman finds himself caught in a moral dilemma, ultimately realizing that his actions, intended to aid civilization, have led to the imposition of new gods in place of the old. As the story unfolds, it questions the nature of progress and dominance, leaving a poignant message about human identity and the continuity of civilization.
