Larry Niven - Il difensore (Protector, 1973)
Leggo sempre volentieri i libri di Larry Niven, che reputo uno dei migliori scrittori di fantascienza spaziale degli anni Sessanta e Settanta: della sua vasta produzione apprezzo in particolare l’ambientazione aperta dello «Spazio conosciuto», che solitamente mescola ottime idee e...

DESTINY'S ROAD (1991)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 40"After painting 6 concepts in an effort to distill Larry Niven's novel into one image, I settled on a mountaintop perspective that gave me the chance to offer an aerial view of the road and its environs. 1/7

THE SMOKE RING (1986)
Acrylic - 32" x 48"I was already fascinated with Larry Niven's free-fall environment, and then in this book I was especially taken with his descriptions of life in and around the “Clump.” 1/8

Was passiert, wenn medizinischer Fortschritt mit einer faschistoiden Sozialpolitik zusammenfällt? Und wohin führt uns die quasireligiöse KI-Begeisterung, wenn wir sie konsequent zu Ende denken?
Zwei gefährliche Visionen von #LarryNiven und #JohnBrunner, die ich für #carcosa ins Deutsche übersetzen durfte. -

#JohnBrunner with Eptification - with a bad result - and #JoeHaldeman with some sort of overlays in #WorldsApart and assorted authors with "memory tapes and of course #TheMatrix "now I do!"And in a less friendly way #LarryNiven with #Corpsicles and #RichardMorgan with the #DigitallyStoredHumans and #DigitallyFreightedHumans and uploading into a sleeve.

Zuletzt beendetes Buch: "The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England" von #BrandonSanderson. Dass "John" den alten Vornamen und das alte Leben hinter sich lassen möchte ist allzu verständlich. Dass Brandon Sanderson nicht #RobertShea ("Mathemagie") und #LarryNiven ("Der Flug des Pferdes") als frühere Meister des Genres mit vergleichbarer Story erwähnt ist mir unverständlich, so will zumindest ich es tun. #bookstodon #fantasyromane #amreadingfantasy

"There is a technical, literary term for those who mistake the opinions and beliefs of characters in a novel for those of the author. The term is ‘idiot’."

Out in the #KnownSpace of #LarryNiven, there is a machine the size of a building, possibly built by a #PakProtector as its insides are human-scale. We know this because those that found it now employ humans to do maintenance on it, wearing black radiation armor suits heavy enough to require powered assists. The tech briefing went over my head with talk about neutrinos and #scrith and the mass of the W boson, but the key thing is that this machine will kill you. So never take off the gauntlets or stop to think about a problem. Just follow the manual, call for help if you need more hands, and listen to the veterans. The suits are like elaborate black plate mail, and I bet they would look impressive standing in a nice clean museum as they are literally relics, as is the machine which might finally allow humans to build a new type of hyperspace engine. But that's for others to worry about, as I need to earn enough to leave this place. This universe. Known Space is not a nice place to visit because it will kill you, enslave you, eat you, or worse. When I get home to the more forgiving universe of #TheCulture, I'm sure my ship-Mind will have a great deal to say about the rationality of my choices. I don't think scrith would work at home and it's not even full protection. This universe might hate people. And there is something wrong with their hyperspace. It may a singular thing actually aware of humans and is visually incomprehensible either as a side effect of hostility or attempts to interact. Finally, for any who follow me, #TeelaBrown may be too dangerous a friend to stand next to, but be sure to ask for post cards.
