BookOdysseyRingworlds Children by Larry NivenThese excerpts from the novel Ringworld's Children by Larry Niven establish the immense scale and complex mechanics of the Ringworld, a colossal, artificial structure in space, detailing its physical parameters, such as a circumference of six hundred million miles. The text introduces a cast of characters, including the human Louis Wu and various alien species like the Kzin and Pierson's puppeteers, who are entangled in the Fringe War around the Ringworld system. Much of the narrative focuses on the immediate aftermath of a disaster—a hole ripped in the Ringworld's floor by antimatter—and the desperate, often conflicting efforts of p...

Riassunti StellariI Burattinai - Larry NivenLouis Wu compie 200 anni e, invece di andare in pensione, si ritrova arruolato da un alieno paranoico con due teste e tre gambe: un Burattinaio. L’obiettivo? Esplorare un misterioso “mondo ad anello” grande quanto l’ego di un imperatore galattico. Con lui viaggiano una ragazza incredibilmente fortunata (troppo per non essere sospetta) e uno Kzinti, cioè un gatto gigante armato di artigli e cattivo carattere. Tra tecnologie impossibili, paesaggi mozzafiato e imprevisti cosmici, Niven trasforma la spedizione in un’avventura che mescola fisica, follia e ironia. Alla fine capisci che esplorare l’universo è facile: sopravvivere al tuo equipaggio, un po’ meno.

Red HorizonsEpisode 7 - The Stars Are Right: Reactionary Realism and the Imperial Imagination of Niven & PournelleLarry Niven and Jerry Pournelle didn’t just write bestselling science fiction, they built survival fantasies for empire. The Mote in God’s Eye, Lucifer’s Hammer, and Footfall wrapped authoritarian order and militarized “realism” in the language of hard science fiction.
In this episode, Red Horizons uncovers how their collaborations transformed fiction into ideology: collapse as stress test, violence as salvation, and continuity of government as the only future worth defending. These weren’t just stories. They were manuals for empire, echoing through Pentagon war games, aerospace strategy, and the survivalist fantasies of billionaires.

SCIFI SNAKEp. 117: Larry Niven og Jerry Pournelle, The Mote in Gods EyeLarry Niven og Jerry Pournelle fortæller i The Mote in God’s Eye en opfindsom historie om mødet mellem menneskeheden og en udenjordisk civilisation. Romanen, fra 1974, er både en old school first contact-historie og et forsøg på filosofisk undersøgelse af konsekvenserne af mødet med det radikalt fremmede.
Et møde med “Moties”
Romanen foregår i år 3017 i et fremtidigt menneskeligt imperium kaldet “Det Andet Imperium af Mennesket”. Historien begynder, da en ekspedition ledet af Kaptajn Lord Roderick Blaine opdager et fremmed rumskib nær New Caledonia-stjernesystemet.

Classic SF with Andy Johnson#120 Cities at war: Oath of Fealty (1981) by Larry Niven and Jerry PournelleIn a recent episode, we looked at Frederik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth, who formed the most important science fiction writing team of the 1950s. This instalment looks at a key book by a dominant collaboration of the 1970s and 1980s - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. These right-wing hard SF authors worked together on numerous books, and even collaborated on fantasy at times. Their 1981 novel Oath of Fealty is an interesting fusion of their scientific speculations and their unsettling, libertarian politics. It is also a prominent work of SF focusing on the theme of...
