Summary "Inhibition" by James Causey is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of cultural development, the consequences of intervention, and the nature of humanity. It focuses on the conflict between the need for control over emerging alien cultures and the ethical dilemmas that arise from such actions." The narrative follows Saxon, an agent of the Inhibition Corps, who is tasked with preventing the development of a newly colonized planet, Eden XI. As he arrives on the planet, he meets the colonists and discovers that their society, despite its seemingly primitive structure, possesses advanced technology and a unique, peaceful culture. When he learns that this group is not only human but also part of a larger civilization (Homo Superior) that has been watching them, Saxon faces a moral crisis. Torn between his duty to obey orders to suppress the colony and his growing affection for its inhabitants, especially for a young girl named Veena, he ultimately decides to defy the orders of his superiors, destroying his own ship and protecting the colony. The story culminates in a bittersweet realization of the potential for harmony between different cultures, as Saxon comes to terms with his identity and purpose.
