Line 50:
* [[Lois McMaster Bujold|Bujold's]] ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Vorkosigan]]'' books features two fairly important planets whose entire population is contained by these due to in-progress [[Terraform|terraforming]]; Beta Colony (the homeworld of Miles Vorkosigan's mother), and Komarr (annexed by Barrayar a generation ago lest it gets bribed or strongarmed into permitting ''another'' invasion). The technological and social implications are rather well discussed.
** The Cetagandans in the novels also use "force domes", but they can be switched on and off, and are used for temporary containment (prison camp) or just as security perimeters (the Celestial Garden). It's also possible to control the weather within the dome, which ensures the Emperor in the Celestial Garden doesn't get rained on.
* [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]]'s ''The City and the Stars''.
* Featured in the teen dystopian novel ''Devil On My Back'' by Monica Hughes.
* Some cities in ''[[Red Mars]]'' are in tents (some of which are dome-shaped), supported by the higher air pressure inside.
Line 78:
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', "Beneath the Surface" and "Revisions". Each with a [[Aesoptinum|dark secret]]. Not to mention Atlantis from ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', at least under the Ancients when they had the power to maintain the shield.
* ''[[Star Trek the Original Series]]''. In the first pilot ("The Cage"), when the Talosians give Captain Pike the illusion of being back on Earth, a matte-painted domed city (Mojave, California) is seen in the background.

* ''[[Babylon Five|Babylon 5]]'': a love affair with [[Domed Hometown]] if there ever was one. Earthdome, capital of the Earth Alliance, is Geneva under a dome or series of domes. Marsdome and other Mars cities are under domes. The science base studying the Shadow vessel on Ganymede featured a large dome under which the ship was kept and which shattered when it took off. The "capital city" of the Shadows on Z'Ha'Dum was underground and featured a large dome.
* Troy in the re-imagined [[Battlestar Galactica]] was this according to a deleted scene. The [[Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story|mining accident on Troy]] was a massive explosion that caused the dome to collapse.
