From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orbitsville (ISBN 0-330-25013-2), published in 1975, is a science fiction novel by Bob Shaw about the discovery of a Dyson Sphere. This is a classic Big Dumb Object story, where the sense of wonder of the discovery of a sphere surrounding a star with a habitable surface area equivalent to five billion Earths powers the story. Shaw wrote two sequels, Orbitsville Departure (ISBN 0-671-69831-1), in 1983, and Orbitsville Judgement in 1990.
