The 24th-century human society depicted in the television series Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise
This groups together series from different centuries. Official Star Trek sources place The Original Series in the 23rd century and Enterprise in the 22nd century, not the 24th.
Full reasoning
This sentence is chronologically inaccurate.
Official StarTrek.com materials describe Star Trek: The Original Series as following the Enterprise crew on missions in the 23rd century. A separate official StarTrek.com article about Enterprise says the show is a prequel that depicts events over a century before Captain Kirk's five-year mission and explicitly situates Archer's era in the 22nd century.
So while The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager are 24th-century shows, it is incorrect to describe the combined society depicted across The Original Series and Enterprise as "24th-century."

The iconic series follows the crew of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise as it completes its missions in space in the 23rd century.
- Enterprise's Legacy, From There to Here | StarTrek.com
As Star Trek's first prequel series, Enterprise explored Starfleet's early years and depicted events that took place over a century before Captain Kirk's five-year mission... Archer's crew and placed their 22nd century travels in context for Discovery's 23rd century officers.
Beyond This Horizon, a 1942 Robert Heinlein novella.
This misidentifies Beyond This Horizon as a novella. It is generally classified as a novel, including by its publisher and by the title's own reference page.
Full reasoning
The work is misclassified here.
Beyond This Horizon is commonly identified as a novel, not a novella. The title's own reference page describes it as a "science fiction novel," and Baen — a publisher of Heinlein editions — calls it "The classic novel about a bored superman in a future utopia."
So the specific description "a 1942 Robert Heinlein novella" is inaccurate on the work's form, even though the 1942 original serial publication date is correct.
