Description

I really love this story. Β Although, I was sad to learn that the Ringworld would need to spin so fast to make gravity that no known material is strong enough to hold it together. Β

Plus, it's famously not actually in orbit and a slight nudge would send it crashing into it's star . Great book, though - a classic.
