Paradyzja

Paradyzja (English: Paradise, the World in Orbit) is a 1984 science fiction novel by Polish writer Janusz A. Zajdel.

[2] Paradyzja (from "paradise") is the story about the human colony on a space station orbiting a distant and mineral rich star system.

Rinah Devi's first impression is that all people strictly adhere to the regime law, but he then discovers that they had devised various ways to work around the system.

The government and the safety service is trying to suppress every possible knowledge of physics, which could allow a verification of the statements about what Paradise is as presented to Paradisians.

Finally, he finds out that Paradise is not a ring-tube space station but a train of buildings lying on the surface of the planet.
