YASID - fake planet

[Tony]

I believe this was a short story. A civilization believes they are on a planet
until the protagonist climbs up a mountain range and realizes he can touch the
sky. Then he realizes they're on a multigenerational space ship only disguised
as a planet.

Yes, I recall there was a similar Star Trek episode, but this was a short story
or short novel.

Don't know of a short story. There's a Harry Harrison novel
called _Captive Universe_ along those lines. The civilization in
that one is IIRC Aztec-ish.

I seem to remember this with a novel with Aztecs? Two societies were
half-smart, and were supposed to interbreed when they arrived.
Interesting idea, bad science.

A star trek episode. The asteroid that they were in was on a

There is a similar theme in the Winston SF series novel _The Star Seekers_
by Milton Lesser. The people in that novel believe and generally accept
that the world is how it is, rather than believing it is a planetary
surface. But they do not realize it is a multigenerational star ship.

Reminds me a bit of the world of Blake Hodgett's song "Boundless?"
Where - actually I think I'll just post a link to the lyrics rather than
try to explain it.
