The Mote in God’s Eye : A No-Win Scenario

For whatever reason books by Niven and Pournelle always end up being a lot harder to cover than I expect. It's not that the core ideas are buried in dense convoluted storytelling or unusually compelling characters (often quite the opposite) but rather I think that the core ideas are always a little uncomfortable to face head-on. And Mote is great example. Niven and Pournelle create a scenario not only of the cyclical rise and fall of a civilization, but one that through a combination of biological and cultural factors points to the impossibility of long-term coexistence between Humanity and the Moties. 🔹 Patreon | patreon.com/FeralHistorian 🔹 Ko-Fi | ko-fi.com/feralhistorian 🔹 and Merch! | feral-shop.fourthwall.com Still plugging Ninti’s Gate 🔹 amazon.com/dp/B0CYXH9BWD 🔹 also on Kobo kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ninti-s-gate?sId=f30f9d90-907a-449a-aeab-7b25215297f1 00:00 Intro 01:26 Aristocracy and Contact 04:11 The Moties 08:48 Crazy Eddie 10:18 The Middle Path? 12:53 The Gripping Hand
