Angus MacPhersonFinally read Rendezvous with Rama. Really wonderful little book. Feels very contemporary. Love that bicycles are a major plot point. E bikes, flying bikes. #sciencefiction #scifi #arthurcclarke
Max Pearl@ngsmcphrsn Huh, haven't thought of that one in years - really enjoyed it. Reminds me I should go back and read some Niven. You really think it ages OK?
@Pearlbear Genuinely loved it. Surprisingly few awkwardly sexist tropes (multiple wives come up a few times, though it's balanced out somewhat by a multiple husband reference). The computing and communications technology is dated, as one would expect. And there's some James Cook hagiography that comes off as a bit too sympathetic to modern ears.
