- Laurence van Cott Niven (born April 30, 1938 Los Angeles, California) is a United States science fiction author. Perhaps his best-known work is Ringworld (1970), which received Hugo Award for Best Novel, Locus Award, Ditmar Award, and Nebula Award for Best Novel awards. His work is primarily hard science fiction, using big science concepts and theoretical physics. It also often includes elements of detective fiction and adventure stories. His fantasy includes The Magic Goes Away (series), rational fantasy dealing with magic as a non-renewable resource. Niven also writes humorous stories; one series is collected in The Flight of the Horse.
- Niven became involved in writing for The Animated Series upon the request of Dorothy Fontana. Being determined to make use of animation, his first draft included the mysterious Outsiders from his Known Space universe. This idea was dropped because it was too science heavy and as such not suited for a Saturday morning cartoon show. It later became the short story "The Borderland of Sol", set in the Known Space universe, and won a Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1976. The same problem of inappropriate subject matter applied to Niven's second pitch, which Niven himself described as too bloody.
