I’m entitled to make any assumptions I like, if they are internally consistent. This is an exercise in speculation, remember? Speculation starts with assumptions. If you don’t like mine, try your own; you might get some interesting results.
Larry Niven – Exercise in Speculation: The Theory and Crafting of Teleportation
This was part of:
Madness from the Inconstant Moon: A Collection of Short Works from Larry Niven (read by Bronson Pinchot)
It has been well worth the price even though I’ve read most of the stories before. I can’t sleep while listening though, Larry Niven crafts his narratives too well. I love Bronson Pinchot’s voice.
