Martians, keep out!

"Martians, Keep Out!" by Fritz Leiber is a mid-20th century science fiction story about discrimination and the fight for rights. In a grim future where hatred towards Martians is fueled by those in power, Jonas Scatterday is a central character who wants to help the mistreated Martians. Scatterday struggles against society's biases as he tries to report honestly about Martians through his news job; he has to deal with harsh resistance from authorities who want to keep exploiting and hating the Martians. As the story goes on, Scatterday grows, bravely facing danger, getting people to support him, and inspiring Martian workers to strike, showing how people can unite and create change against unfairness. Leiber uses suspense and strong characters to make readers think about society and what it means to be human.
