minus-squarehitstunOPMlinkfedilink1•5 days ago If someone’s makin’ a Niven movie, they’re doin’ Ringworld. Wouldn’t that just be Halo, lol I don’t follow sci-fi novels, but it seems this Larry Niven guy has a knack for well-realized worlds in interesting situations. They’re good thought experiments. If a movie is made of one of his novels, they had better get the physics perfect.
