Ok, it's friday, so I had to chime in.

I have no earthly idea who Larry Niven is, I have never heard of Ringworld.  I
do know of Freeman Dyson.

But if you want to read a good book, try Flatland by Edwin Abbott.  For Denys,
I believe it was originally written in French.

Flatland is about a two dimensional society.  One Flatlander, a Square,
discovers the existence of a third dimension and tries to understand the
problems of higher dimensions.

Imagine a sphere (3 dimensions) crossing the plane of Flatland, (2 dimensions).

Better yet, the book has a sequel Sphereland.

Thanks Art.

Happy Friday.

-Craig
