* The John Gribbin novel ''Innervisions''. This is meant to be a shock ending to the book, except [[Trailers Always Spoil|the cover announces]] "The world was a sphere ... and they were inside it!"
* In the sci-fi novel ''[[Prisoners of Power (Literature)|Prisoners of Power]]'' by [[Strugatsky Brothers|A. and B. Strugatsky]], the inhabitants of the planet Saraksh are convinced that they live on the inner surface of a spherical cavity, due to the unusual optical properties of its atmosphere (the horizon looks like it is '''above''' the observer).
* Due to a combination of its gravitic and atmospheric oddities, the world of [[wikipedia:Mesklin|Mesklin]] in Hal Clement's hard sci fi classic ''Heavy Planet'' was thought by its inhabitants to be bowl-shaped. They were incorrect (it was actually a very flattened spheroid).
* [[Hell]] in [[Philip Jose Farmer|Philip José Farmer's]] ''Inside Outside''. According to some characters, it used to be flat but changed as scientific knowledge advanced. {{spoiler|It's later revealed, however, that this is false and that hell is a space station.}}
