Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke is pure, distilled classic science fiction — wide-eyed wonder, cool-headed astronauts, and mysteries big enough to swallow a planet. This one looms large in both Tom and Tony’s memories as the benchmark for hard sci-fi done right.
A giant alien cylinder drifts into our solar system. Humanity pokes its nose inside. What we find is both awe-inspiring and maddeningly enigmatic. Clarke gives us a story that stops short of first contact… and somehow that makes it even better.
And are there parallels to the imaginings of Clarke and the reality of 3I/Atlas, the interstellar visiter even now approaching the Earth IRL? Join us and find out!
