Further Reading For Hollow Earth
The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Info
Hollow Earth has been a concept for as long as there has been people to think that the earth is hollow. The general concept is pretty self explanatory: The earth is literally hollow. We stand on the outer layer of a vast interior space within the planet which, depending on who you ask, is either dark and cavernous, or has its own sun and land masses on which a whole other species of beings live on. Sometimes they come out, sometimes they have no idea that we exist. But in the latter case, you can pretty much guarantee that a sizable portion of these inner-earth races are fanatical weirdos with their own streaming media channels about how an unknown race of people actually live on the outside of the earth.
For some, this concept is where the biblical hell exists. For others, it’s where Gods exist. Or a space traveling race that the nazis were hoping to tap into, launching their crafts from openings at Earth’s poles. It’s absolutely preposterous but that never stopped an army of speculative fiction writers from writing dozens of novels about the topic, or delusional online weirdos that think that everything you’re taught in school is a total lie.
