I'd want the 2029 Deus Ex world to be real, because I'd get to watch Adam Jensen break shit around Prague from my window.

I saw that. BTW, after you read the fourth ringworld book, read Protector then Crashlander. After that read the Fleet of Worlds books. In that order you are left with the fewest gaps in knowledge as you progress.

Cool, will do

Didn't even know there was a 4th lol, in the forward in engineers he says how he wasn't going to make a second ring world book and most likely wouldn't make anymore, then I saw Throne haha.

Yeah he tried to avoid series early on because it took more effort as you have to work within the constraints of what you've already written and have more shit to keep straight. That was too much like work for Niven and since he came from a wealthy family had no need for it but eventually he gave in because he was constantly hounded by fans, publishers and fellow authors.

Why has this not been made into a movie

None of the headaches of Dune with the internal dialog. And the follow on movies if successful.

You never heard of Dorsai or the Childe Cycle series.
It is an amazing series
Tactics of Mistake was also awesome

and this:

"Feared and respected as the most effective soldiers humanity has ever known, the Dorsai find their reputation at risk when an invader attacks their planet, inhabited only by the Dorsai women who are left behind to defend it."

personally I like that one better than his Honorverse (which is still good... but I mean... in Empire from the ashes.....the moon is a ship... and AIs battle it out.... it's epic)

Whoops, my bad, confused weber with someone else
