Delightfully engaging hard SF. Despite lots of technical details, I couldn't put this one day. What is Rama? Why is it here? How should we respond to it? The book doesn't tell us much about the aliens that sent Rama, but it reveals a lot about human nature. It was like reading a video game; the reader, like the characters, remain restlessly inquisitive.
