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
