Nodus: Der Rama-Zyklus Band 4 - Roman

Arthur C. Clarke’s depiction of alien life is both mysterious and thought-provoking. I wonder what inspired his approach to making them seem both unfamiliar and relatable.

The story delves into deep philosophical debates during those sections. I'm curious if Clarke intended to give readers space to reflect or if it was just how the plot evolved.

With so much focus on humanity’s response to the alien encounter, I wonder which themes Clarke believed were most critical for us to consider.
