"This World is Taboo" is a science fiction novel written by Murray Leinster and first published in 1961. The story is set in a future where Earth has been quarantined and classified as "taboo" due to its high level of radiation, and the human population has moved to other planets in the galaxy. The main character, Burl, is a trader who travels between planets to make a living. However, his life takes a dangerous turn when he unwittingly gets involved with a group of rebels trying to overthrow the ruling alien species. The novel explores themes of social stratification, prejudice, and rebellion, and is regarded as one of Leinster's best works.
