Sobering information that explains too much.

>>The place where all three converge is Space Relations, published in 1973 by Donald Barr.

The plot really makes this obvious in hindsight. It’s about a class of extraordinarily wealthy people who have established a planet that exists outside the jurisdiction of any government. They purchase human beings and sexually enslave them there. The sovereign class answers to nothing but its own will. The mineral the slaves are forced to mine is called weinsteinite. Yes, it’s really fucking called WEINSTEINite. I don’t mean to throw out a curse word, but you cannot make this shit up.
