Will it still have trees, mountains, seas, and lakes? What sort precautions do you need to take so that the Ringworld survives through the ages? How do you produce energy? How do you maintain a day-night cycle? How do you effectively leave and return to Ringworld? What happens when society finally collapses? All these questions and more are discussed in the book. If the ring is about as far away from the sun as Earth is, and the ring is wide enough, you get an area equivalent to a hundred thousand planets enough space for everybody. The main setting of Ringworld is actually quite interesting: an ancient, almost all powerful civilization has figured out a novel way to avoid real estate problems: take all the matter in the solar system and stretch it out in the form of a thin ring around the sun.

Recipe: take about 200 grams of insightful ideas concerning civilization and space exploration, slice ’em and dice ’em, then mix in about 10 kilos of misogyny, extreme cherry-picking physics, poor character development, unrealistic behaviour, some more misogyny and a ridiculous historical explanation, and mix thoroughly until homogeneous. ![]() ![]() But I don’t think you should care, because this is a horrible book and you should not read it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe Sonny was the one to promise Ace anything, but there is nothing under the sun Ace won’t do to keep Sonny safe from harm.- Chase in Shadow: Chase has one chance for true love and salvation.

Until one day an elderly, handicapped woman enters the shop. ![]() ![]() ![]() With only the blossoming of the cherry trees to mark the passing of time, he spends his days listlessly filling the pastries. Instead, he works in a confectionery shop selling dorayaki, a type of pancake filled with a sweet paste made of red beans. Sentaro has failed: he has a criminal record, drinks too much, and hasn’t managed to fulfill his dream of becoming a writer.
