Ringworld (2014)
“Louis had flown all night and well into the morning. He wasn’t sure how long. The motionless noon sun was a psychological trap; it either compressed or stretched time, and Louis wasn’t sure which.
Emotionally, Louis was on sabbatical. He had almost forgotten the other flycycles. Flying alone over unending, endlessly changing terrain was no different from ranging alone in a singleship, beyond the known stars. Louis Wu was alone with the universe, and the universe was a plaything for Louis Wu.... The most important question in the universe became: Is Louis Wu still satisfied with himself?
It came as a shock when a furry orange face formed above the dash.
“You must be tiring,” said the kzin. “Do you wish me to fly?”
“I’d rather land. I’m getting cramped.”
“Land, then. The controls are yours.”
“I don’t want to force my company on anyone.”MoreLess
