If I remember, it was about this asteroid called “The Biosphere” that got hollowed out and sent on relativistic speeds through deep space to seed other solar systems with human colonies. The inside of it was set up like a giant rural town with massive skies, and a foot print the size of New York. And that’s a cool ass premise.
But the book was so fucking milquetoast and bland. I could not tell you anything about the protagonist, their challenges, or anything.
That reminds me of The Inverted World by Christopher Priest. Cool idea about a city on tracks that must always move otherwise suffer spacetime distortions. Thats the only interesting part about the whole thing.
Yeah, that’s pretty similar, the main difference being the setting. For me, I can only really tolerate books if they’re science fiction for some reason.
But yeah, that book was so bad it honestly makes me want to take a crack at the idea myself and see if I can do it better.
I know I probably can’t, I have very little writing experience. But it’s gotta be at least worth the attempt.
Not a film, but a novel:
