Talk:List of socially unusual fictional planets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Untouchables
Does somebody remember a short story of a happy planet or asteroid?: The visitor is welcomed, but soon learns that there is a clan of garbage collectors or recyclers who are despised (as the untouchables) by the otherwise sympathetic inhabitants. The garbage clan goes on strike top protest their discrimination. The situation goes to a standstill. The visitor decides to break the strike himself to save the planet, but is rejected both by the strikers and by the "normal" inhabitants.
