In the future that the series depicts, spanning roughly the third millennium, humans have explored this region and colonized many of its worlds. The epithet "Known Space" refers to a small region in the Milky Way galaxy, one centered on Earth. Late in the series, Known Space is an irregularly shaped "bubble" about 60 light-years across. The stories span approximately one thousand years of future history, from the first human explorations of the Solar System to the colonization of dozens of nearby systems. This was the first-published work in the 1975 collection. The first-published work in the series, which was Niven's first published piece was "The Coldest Place", in the December 1964 issue of If magazine, edited by Frederik Pohl.
The Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB) catalogs all works set in the fictional universe that includes Known Space under the series name Tales of Known Space, which was the title of a 1975 collection of Niven's short stories. It has also become a shared universe in the spin-off Man-Kzin Wars anthologies. Known Space is the fictional setting of about a dozen science fiction novels and several collections of short stories by American writer Larry Niven.
