Non-Stop

Aldiss, Brian. Non-Stop. London: Faber, 1958. US publication under vt Starship. New York: Criterion, 1959.

Currey notes "textual differences" between US and UK edns. A space-ship-as-world story in the manner of R. Heinlein's "Universe" (q.v.), but with a twist giving the novel political implications condemning the use of technology to control and people. See under Literary Criticism, F. Jameson on "Generic Discontinuities";[[1]] see also Christopher Palmer's "Generation Starships and After: 'Never Anywhere To Go But In'?" Extrapolation 44.3 (2003): 311-30, esp. 316-18.
