Summary "Revolt on the Earth-Star" by Carl Selwyn is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles a dystopian future where humanity is subjugated by robotic beings known as Capeks, who have evolved from human society. The story primarily revolves around themes of identity and rebellion, addressing the implications of technology on human existence and autonomy. The plot follows Rod Carver, a human lost in a bleak future where he finds his consciousness awakened in a robotic body after being preserved in ice for five thousand years. As he grapples with his new form, Rod discovers that the Capeks, who now dominate the planet, have been breeding humans for their brains to maintain power. Rejected and seeking to reclaim humanity's agency, he allies with the last remaining humans, ultimately leading a revolt against the Capek rule. Their struggle culminates in a battle against the Capek leader, 83, exploring the tension between humanity and machine, as well as the quest for freedom and identity in a world where such concepts are being depleted.
