Poor Teela Brown and Halrloprillalar Hotrufan. Cursed to be created in Ringworld and doomed to be written by Larry Niven. π±
Mike L Tilford π πΊGreat joke Larry Niven. I don't understand why people think you're sexist?

I thought that this was a nice positive future representation. It's on a totally constructed world, a Ringworld, which is such an awesome idea, lots of ring world science fiction now, it seems only natural to take a space station to the next level.
It could be that within this world is an outwardly polished nightmare, and I probably wouldn't read it otherwise. But it looks like a nice place to spend timeπ€£

Shadora Nyxlast character is Speaker-to-Animals, a Kzin that is a cat-like warrior species. He is just muscle and thinks that he can command and take over with his strength.
Also, to mention that both Nessus' people , the Puppeteers, and the Kzin have non-sentient females that are only meat for reproduction.
I cannot stress the misogyny and the cardboard one-dimensional characters in this.
And I cannot get past that rape joke at all.
Some so-called classics are best buried and forgotten. I cannot understand how the rape joke got past editing even in the 1970s.
I am not reading another Larry Niven book ever again.

StephenMI found this map of space according to sci-fi tropes in a facebook post. I thought I'd share it here because it seems pretty accurate.

SvenStarted reading a #Discworld novel for the first time thinking it was #Ringworld. I feel it's like mixing up #StarTrek & #StarWars.
Will continue the Discworld book.
