The things I took away from reading Niven was transfer booths. The world has homogenized because information and people were transmitted instantly one from corner of the globe to another.
Ooohhh boy.
- eszed 1y agoI loved the conservation of momentum "hack" for those teleportation booths. Go on, everyone who hasn't read it, see if you can guess how he dealt with that.
- Loughla 1y agoI love the ring world series until all the furry porn. He really should've stopped before coming up with rishing.
- bayindirh 1y agoIf you want to see this idea taken to the next level, you should read Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos. ;)
- Loughla 1y agoI have a tattoo of the tree ship yggdrasill. The consul's tale should be required reading for anyone working in the tech field.
- bayindirh 1y agoI consider the whole Cantos as a great book on ethics and empathy. Funnily, every syncthing node on my network has a Farcaster folder. Maybe I should read it again sometime.
