Ringworld is a science fiction novel by Larry Niven, known for its sophisticated treatment of hard SF concepts and the early exploration of the 'big dumb object' story device.

The first edition of 'Ringworld' can be identified by its full cloth binding, lack of ISBN (which was not widely used until 1970), and the publisher's code 'K18' on the page after the end of the text.
