Larry Niven

Larry Niven è un autore americano altamente stimato, noto soprattutto per il suo contributo al genere della science fiction. Nato a Los Angeles, California, il 30 aprile 1938, Niven sviluppò precocemente un interesse per la science fiction, che lo portò a studiare matematica e psicologia alla Washburn University e al California Institute of Technology. Tuttavia, la sua passione per la science fiction ebbe il sopravvento, e abbandonò gli studi per dedicarsi alla carriera di scrittore.

La produzione di Niven è principalmente di science fiction hard, che prevede l'utilizzo di concetti scientifici grandiosi e fisica teorica. È riconosciuto per la sua capacità di creare specie aliene sostanzialmente diverse dagli esseri umani, sia fisicamente che mentalmente. Il suo lavoro più noto, Ringworld, ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui il Hugo, Locus, Ditmar e Nebula. La fiction di Niven include spesso elementi di narrativa poliziesca e storie d'avventura, rendendola attraente per un pubblico ampio. Ha anche scritto serie fantasy, come The Magic Goes Away, che utilizza una risorsa esauribile chiamata Mana per rendere la magia un'risorsa non rinnovabile.

Niven ha collaborato con diversi autori, tra cui Jerry Pournelle, Steven Barnes, Brenda Cooper ed Edward M. Lerner. Molti dei suoi lavori dagli anni '70 in poi sono stati realizzati in collaborazione, in particolare con Pournelle. Niven ha vinto il premio Hugo per la migliore storia breve per Neutron Star nel 1967, Inconstant Moon nel 1972 e The Hole Man nel 1975. Nel 1976, ha vinto il premio Hugo per la migliore novella per The Borderland of Sol.

Oltre alla sua attività di scrittore, Niven ha scritto sceneggiature per vari programmi televisivi di science fiction, tra cui la serie originale Land of the Lost e Star Trek: The Animated Series. Ha anche adattato il suo lavoro per la televisione, tra cui un episodio di The Outer Limits nel 1996. Niven ha anche contribuito a DC Comics, scrivendo per la serie Green Lantern e incorporando concetti di science fiction hard nelle sue storie.
