That was from The Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven.

Finished (re)reading #LarryNiven's #Ringworld for the first time in 10 years, in preparation to read #RingworldEngineers. Probably the first time I've read a book cover to cover in... Well about 10 years. It's nice to get back on old (good) habits!

Much pacier and written in a more obviously modern style than Ringworld (I know it's written 10 years later). The story still handles hard SF concepts really well with an original vision of the future. #LarryNiven #RingworldEngineers #SFbooks #SciFi
I've read #RingworldEngineers and moved onto #Throne but, unfortunately, got bored with the series, so I'll be moving on to something else once I work out what.

Just come to a juddering halt in terms of what I was going to toot. Realised that protecting information that could be used for identity fraud tops what I was going to say.

So, unfortunately I won't be tooting what I was going to.

Meanwhile in other news, moved onto #RingworldEngineers

Should a sequel expand on, or throw away the original's conclusions? That is a question...β€½;*
