The Dark Beyond the Stars

Robinson, Frank M. The Dark Beyond the Stars. New York: TOR-Doherty, 1991. We use the S. F. Book Club Edition (marked as a book club edn. only by its lack of an ISBN).

The huge Terran spacecraft moving into the Dark had not been designed as a generation starship, but it became one; see stories crosslisted at R. A. Heinlein's "Universe" (listed this Category). Note also for "falsies"—holographic projections—and associated "virtual realities," plus "preservation crypts" for storing crew, and significant links between three people and the ship's computer. See this Category, K. O'Donnell's Mayflies.
