Name of a Sc-fi series from the 70's

Postby Blade Runner on Sun Dec 05, 2004 1:00 pm

It was in the 70s. There were people flying through space on these world ships, giant ships with separate "pods" or sections that were self-contained.

They'd been on the ships so long they forgot they were on ships. But someone in one of the pods discovers the truth, and they set out to explore the other pods and tell them they're on this ship. And each pod developed its own different kind of civilization so half the story was how the people in the next pod ended up.

I pretty sure you're talking about "The Starlost". A quick google-idge gave me http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/star.html which should fill in the gaps in your memory.

"In the year 2790 A.D., a giant Earthship, Ark, drifts through deep space, out of control, its crew having been killed five hundred years earlier. When the accident that killed the crew occurred, the airlocks connecting the ship's domes that housed the last survivors of the dead planet, Earth, were sealed. Cut off from the outside world, many communities simply forgot that they were on a spacecraft. They accepted that their world was fifty miles in diameter and the sky was metal. Content with their lot, no one knew that their world was in grave danger. Without a crew at the helm, the Ark was on a collision course with a sun."

sounds interesting. would love to see it.

Reminds me a little of the 'Only Foreward' book, where everybody lives in sepparate 'neighbourhoods' which each has their own distinct style.
Ahh.. no offence, but you are a robot, aren't you?

looks interesting.....would also like to see this if ever there was any copy available :)
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
