If a child were raised completely indoors...

Anyone know if this is the subject of a book? Surely someone has woven a storyline around such a premise…

Well, there was a movie called Blast From the Past. It was a comedy though, so I don’t think it tried to be terribly realistic. Also in Asimov’s Foundation, the planet of Trantor is pretty much completely indoors. According to him the children there are extremely agoraphobic.

Those are what inspired my question.

He will know from TV and the Net what the Outside is supposed to be like. As long as he’s not given some other conditioning, I would assume he could steel himself for the outside and nervously go outside the Caves of Steel. I really doubt that the Outside would send him into Asimovian hissy fits.

All the Elijah Baily and robots series, actually.
