The Spacer Sector or Spacetown is a location in Isaac Asimov's Robot series.
Description[]
Spacetown is the designated extraterritorial enclave within New York City where the Spacer population resides. Also referred to as the Spacer Sector, Spacetown is isolated from the rest of the City by a force barrier and a customs inspection point. It features a distinct architectural style characterized by low, spread-out domes, with each family occupying its own dwelling—a stark contrast to the vertical, crowded human Sections. Access for citizens of New York is highly restricted and involves rigorous medical decontamination procedures. The enclave operates under its own jurisdiction. The murder of Dr. Roj Nemennuh Sarton occurs within his dome in this Sector, initiating the novel's central investigation.
