The World and Thorinn is a fix-up novel made from three stories that Damon Knight had published in Galaxy magazine. Thorinn is a young boy who lives with his adoptive family of trolls in Hovenskar, a curious land where the horizon curves upwards. Thorinn is named after a sort of flea, as one of his legs is lame, so he travels via a hopping gait. When earthquakes cause the well to go dry, Thorinn's father sends him in to investigate (and as a sacrifice to the gods) with a geas to "go down." As Thorinn follows the geas, he travels through many lands, surviving by his wits, until he finally reaches the final depth and learns a terrible secret about who he is and what his world is.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

City in a Bottle: Each of the worlds Thorinn visits is essentially this, with the residents believing that their section is the only one that exists. | |

Gravity Screw: As Thorinn goes deeper, the physics of the worlds gets stranger, with part of the justification being that, as he gets closer to the center of the world, gravity becomes more evenly distributed in every direction so that the worlds start heading towards low gravity, then no gravity at the center. | |

Benevolent A.I. | |
| The World And Thorinn / int_2a4222ff | comment |
Benevolent A.I.: At the core of the Earth, Thorinn encounters "The Monitor", an A.I. that was told to keep humanity safe until given orders to do otherwise. It has been thousands and thousands of years since that command was given, and the A.I.'s idea of keeping humanity safe is to keep them ignorant of the true nature of their world so as to keep them from dangers. | |
