I finished reading this book last week, noticed that there was no Wikipedia entry yet, then two days later Nickaubert creates one. Ain't Wikipedia something?! Coyote-37 10:17, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Same universe as INTEGRAL TREES?

This novel is apparently set in the same universe as Niven's novel The Integral Trees and its sequel, though about the only connection between A World Out of Time and The Integral Trees is that the ship that brought the humans to the Smoke Ring ages before has the same sort of AI, known as a Checker, running it, and that the ship clearly came from the same sort of totalitarian government as described in World (since at one point, the Checker preaches the gospel of communism to the people it comes in contact with)... though in this case the ship clearly isn't a seeder ship...

In fact, digging through the article The Integral Trees I see that book listed in the box on the right as "preceded by..." A World Out of Time...

It would probably be worth adding a link to that page and mentioning that this book is set in the same universe.

Good point, I added this in the trivia section. Perhaps it should be in the intro, but it seems ok where it is. Maury 17:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
