I'm trying to come up with SF stories that have no violence at all, and
I'm not having much luck. _Bellwether_ by Connie Willis, maybe?
Most Asimov stories have no violence. Off the top of my head "Not Final",
"The Singing Bell", "Franchise", "The Martian Way", "Reason", _The Gods
Themselves_, etc.
The Gods Themselves? Unless my memory is faulty didn't the human
protagonist's cosmeg power solution mean the death of the entire species of
3-part being that morphed into one because they would no longer get power
from the human universe?
No, they would still get the power. However, the laws of their universe are
going to keep changing, and there may be unpleasant results.
Come to think of it, the 3-part beings' solution was to have human universe
explode resulting in a long lasting power flow. Although unsuccessful it was
an attempt at the mega-extinction of a universe.
No, they wanted Sun to explode, not the whole universe.
