I was surprised to see Niven at all, but I haven't read N-Space. Good to know.
"24 Views" is novella-length. It's a pilgrimage of sorts, with each stop neatly matched to one of Hokusai's thirty-six prints (http://www.theprices.com/view1.htm). No hurtling models, but a strong, unconventional protagonist and digital ghosts that escape machines and a good dose of intertextuality. Beautifully done.
