* [[All of Them]]

'''Naomi''': At a guess? All of them. }}

* [[Asteroid Miners]] - A lot of this goes on in the belt though it doesn't directly impact the plot much.

** I was struck by the multipurpose design of the blocky ships. Rather than have spin or some magic gravity technology allow people to have gravity, he turned the people on their side so that the G forces caused by acceleration hold people down (your head is pointed to the destination rather than standing like you would in a traditional ship (NEWS is the same plane as you are standing in, you can face where you are moving towards)

* [[Domed Hometown]] - It is mentioned that Martian cities are under domes.

* [[Fantastic Racism]] - Earthers vs. Belters.

* [[Generation Ships]] - None have been used yet, but there is one under construction.

* [[Humanity Is Infectious]] - {{spoiler|How Julie is able to retain control over Eros}}.

* [[Kansas City Shuffle]] - Holden's plan to intercept the missiles involves pulling this kind of con on the UN.

* [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness]]: 4.

** Hardness: slower-than-light travel, no [[Stealth in Space]], generally excellent physics where described.
