One of the most imaginative writers creates one of the most imaginative worlds. The author says "I myself have dreamed up an intermediate step between a Dyson Sphere and a planet. Build a ring 93 million miles in radius--one Earth orbit which would make it 600 million miles long. If we have the mass of Jupiter to work with, and if we make it a million miles wide, we get a thickness of about a thousand meters. The Ringworld would thus be much sturdier than a Dyson sphere. The thing is roomy enough: three million times the area of the EArth. It will be some time before anyone complains of the crowding."
Meet the Pierson's Puppeteers, the Kzinti, the Pak hominids--meet Louis Wu who has lived so long he thinks he is becoming bored----Boy is Louis in for a shock!

I know nothing about sci-fi books. I have a box of them. Questions? ask me.
