Welcome to rb.arts.books.series.known-space!

To kick things off, let's start with a question every Known Space fan has probably debated at some point:

What is your favorite Known Space novel, story, or character, and why?

Was it Ringworld and the discovery of one of the greatest megastructures in science fiction? The adventures of Beowulf Shaeffer? The mystery of the Puppeteers? The ferocity of the Kzinti? Or perhaps one of the many stories that helped build the rich history of Known Space?

Known Space has given us countless memorable ideas, alien species, technologies, and adventures over the decades. We'd love to hear what first drew you into Larry Niven's universe and what keeps you coming back.

Introduce yourself and tell us your favorite corner of Known Space! 🚀🌎🌌

Ringworld FTW! Starts with Louis Wu using the traveling booths and jumping time zones to keep his 200th birthday alive. The Man-Kzin Wars were a good prelude, with the Puppeteers manipulating the war to benefit man. A very interesting read.
