Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel, Ringworld remains a favorite among science fiction readers.
The artifact is a vast circular ribbon of matter, some 180 million miles across, with a sun at its center. Pierson’s puppeteers—strange, three-legged, two-headed aliens—discovered this “Ringworld” in a hitherto unexplored part of the galaxy. Curious about the immense structure, but frightened by the prospect of meeting the builders, they set about assembling a team to explore it:
Louis Wu, human—old and bored with having lived too fully for too many years, seeking an adventure, and all too capable of handling it.
Nessus, puppeteer—a trembling coward from a species with an inbuilt survival pattern of nonviolence. This particular puppeteer, however, is insane.
Speaker-to-Animals, kzin—large, orange-furred, and carnivorous. The kzin are one of the most savage life-forms known.
The party’s expedition, however, goes disastrously wrong when their ship crash-lands and its motley crew faces a daunting trek across thousands of miles of Ringworld territory.

As if ”A Randezvous With Rama” was written by Robert A. Heinlein.Entertaining the start and I enjoyed the writing style and the story and the quirky little details about the reality the characters exist in.Would have been 4 stars if not for Louis Wu being such a gross patronising old man to his 20-year old girlfriend.

Lugn scifi som klarar tidens test rätt bra. Alltid intressant att läsa eller lyssna på dessa klassiker. Det är som en liten tidskapsel in i framtiden.
