Хроники Известного космоса (Известный Космос)

Niven's universe feels so detailed and lived-in. I'm curious if he drew inspiration from earlier sci-fi or crafted it entirely from his imagination. Do you think his universe has set a standard for space-faring stories?

The stories often explore complex ethical dilemmas in space. I found myself questioning what I’d do in similar situations. How did these moral questions affect your view of the characters' decisions?

His ability to weave scientific accuracy with compelling narratives makes the stories immersive. I'm wondering if this was a deliberate craft choice or a natural talent that developed over time.
