What you know
Book 1: Pandora's Star
- Ch 10Other Commonwealth worlds despise Huxley's Haven as the Hive; it is legally independent and stays connected through a CST gateway.
- Ch 23Huxley's Haven is a Big15 world reached by steam train from Wessex, with pollarded trees, hedged fields and hydro-powered electricity.
- Ch 23Its society uses early-twentieth-century technology with no electronics, networks or artificial fiber, and people are genetically designed for specific jobs, so it never changes.
- Ch 23It has no religion, no chain stores, and equal salaries for all; its economy is market communism, and cities have uniform building sizes.
Book 2: Judas Unchained
- Ch 16Huxley's Haven police were genetically engineered by the Foundation with a compulsion to see cases solved; there is no political pressure protecting criminals there.
