THE NIVENVERSE
Larry Niven And His Literary Universes

Yes it's true! I'm finally updating this site.

I created this site several years ago and I've intended to get back to it. Unfortunately life, school, money, cancer, death and near death all comspired to keep me away. I'm back now and the site will be redesigned and added to, using all the multiple web design skills I've learned since the days I hand-coded HTML pages. Check Back.

Larry Niven Biography

Brief Bio: Larry Niven was born in 1938 in Los Angeles. In 1956, he entered the California Institute of Technology, only to flunk out a year and a half later after discovering a bookstore jammed with used science-fiction magazines. He graduated with a B.A. in mathematics (minor in psychology) from Washburn University, Kansas, in 1962, and completed one year of graduate work before he dropped out to write. Among his accomplishments is the Known Space series of books and stories, considered to be one of the best science fiction series ever. His first published story, "The Coldest Place," appeared in the December 1964 issue of "Worlds of If." He won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1966 for "Neutron Star," and in 1974 for "The Hole of Man." The 1975 Hugo Award for Best Novelette was given to "The Borderland of Sol." His novel Ringworld won the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmar, and Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.
