What people on Hacker News said
When it comes to "moderately plausible megastructures", the ringworld concept is by far my favorite.
I guess I love stories of travel and discovery of which all the books have them in droves.
I highly recommend all of the Ringworld books if you haven't read them.
Ringworld is an example of this (as are most of Niven's works).
