Visions of octopoids danced in his head

I'm re-reading a favourite of my adolescence, the 1973 novel The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. (In fact, I took it with me to the hospital last week.) Ah, this is proper science fiction - people flying through space explaining physics to each other! ;D

Yay physics! Yay Niven! =:o}

I love it, but don't you find it a phobic allegory about the teeming hordes of the Third World?

From these authors? Come, come, I won't hear of it.
