The alien has just the right currency with which to purchase the ancient human’s time: a precious commodity that the bland, homogenized world that is Earth of 2850 cannot offer Wu: novelty. This is an unexpected development, not least because the Puppeteers have not been seen on Earth since they fled Known Space in the 27 th century. Louis Wu’s teleport-booth-tour of an inexplicably backward-spinning 29 th century Earth 1 is interrupted when the ancient man is waylaid by Nessus, a Pierson’s Puppeteer. 1970’s Ringworld is the first volume in Larry Niven’s Ringworld series, which is set in Niven’s Known Space universe. ![]()
