Ringworld

Staff Pick

Niven's take on alien culture is not to be missed. Ringworld is easily one of the genre's greatest stories of discovery and exploration.

An odd read. It is a classic, and it has some great ideas, but not much in the way of the plot. Rather, it has one of those 'let's go see and explore weird alien artifact/new planet/etc', so not much happens except for exploring. I can also see why people have problem with Niven's women characters...
