makes me think of that story of all the people chanting "The Ringworld is Unstable!" at Niven, and how he came up with an active support system to fix the gap.
Lmao, I remember that story, and its great because every ringworld book has to spend at least a chapter addressing some other, newly noticed, fatal flaw with the concept.
Niven is such a fuckin boomer hack.
I am blessed to pretty much forget all the shitty parts of old sci-fi I read when I was a kid. I only remember some of Niven's brainworms, while clearly remembering that "WE MADE IT!" is the best name for a settled planet in all of sci-fi history.
