Robert Silverberg's The World Inside

'''Abrash, Merritt. "Robert Silverberg's The World Inside."' No Place Else'', q.v. this Category, 225-43.

Close reading of Silverberg's World Inside, with comparisons and contrasts with I. Asimov's Caves of Steel and H. G. Wells's The First Men in the Moon and "A Story of the Days to Come" (novels cited under Fiction)—and a very useful discussion of Silverberg on the sociology of a "hive" society. See this Category, T. Dunn and R. Erlich, "The Mechanical Hive."
