And it never began to touch the depth of the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep".

One writer, say a Hemmingway, or Azimov... that works.

Two or more? David Drake and Eric Flynt? Yeah, it's ok.... Some other couplings work better. Niven and Pournelle pop to mind.

But hand it off to a screenwriter and producer? Katy bar the door and hide the girls.

Imagine Ringworld as a movie. You do that. I gotta go barf.

An honest Ringworld movie would be gold - or simply the Life and Times of Beowulf Shaeffer.

We’ll never get it though - not enough explosions.
