Help out an old fogey whose mind is fading. I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read several years ago. The basic plot is there's this community of people living on this massive spaceship and they've been living on it for so many generations they've forgotten that it's a spaceship. The protagonist discovers the truth, then tries to convince his fellow passengers, who turn on him as a heretic. To make matters worse, he discovers that the space ship is heading toward destruction, right into the path of a star.
I got about half way through the book and never finished and have been trying to locate it but can't remember the title. It was something like "Jordan VII," the name of the spaceship. It has a bunch of amusing scenes, like where the elders try to explain away all the laws of physics found in "ancient" textbooks, because of course, things don't work on the spaceship (at least as they see it) as they did back on earth.
It's probably from the sixties or seventies, can't remember author or title, can anyone out there help me out with a title?
