Years ago I read through the Rama series after getting into Rendezvous with Rama. Kinda found some of the characters annoying but overall the sense of wonder at the generation ships and the scale of the journey really stuck with me, inspiring me to this day in my love of space. It wasn’t too fanciful imho, seemed fairly grounded for the epic scope of its narrative. One part that hit me hard was when they learned of an ancient galactic empire that had been spreading throughout the galaxy and then just collapsed right outside of the Milky Way. Really the kind of thing that just made me wanna look up at the stars and wonder. So… any other recommendations that might scratch the itch I’ve felt since then?
