The particulars of the enriched and character-driven story of Colony Three by Amy Faulks provide its esteemed readers not only a pronounced science fiction novel but also many moral questions that arise when people discover deep space for futuristic space colonization. Isolated against the backdrop of the extraterrestrial world of planet Arcadia, the novel provides the readers with a theoretically high, albeit dark and convincing outlook on futuristic space colonization.
A Choice to Inhibit & Colonize: Who Decides?
One of the fundamental moral quandaries outstretched in Colony Three is the rightfulness of futuristic space colonization of a strange new world. Arcadia, with its unexplored landscape and alien ecosystem, becomes a frontline for survival and dominance.
The story introduces divisions like the Iron Sun, whose motives remain unclear, and the administrators of Colony Three, whose pronouncements are not always translucent. This dynamic poses questions about who has the power to claim ownership of the planet Arcadia and how these entitlements are justified. Is it survival, technological proficiency, or absolute determination? Faulks invites readers to echo on these persistent concerns through the eyes of her protagonists’ struggles.
