…it, but Blindsight by Peter Watts gave me the same feeling of "this is incredibly alien and I have no idea what will happen next". Other books with a similar plot structure and deeply alien vibe: - Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky (recommended elsewhere in this thread) - Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds I know there's one I'm forgetting.
- Leigh Radford 的《One Yellow Eye》 - Adrian Tchaikovsky 的《Shroud》 - Vajra Chandrasekera 的《The Saint of Bright Doors》 我在 quinnkeast.com/reading 整理了份阅读书单。要是有人愿意分享自己的书单，我也超想拜读！
- One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford - Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky - The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera I keep a reading list at quinnkeast.com/reading. Would love to see others’ if any has one to share!

For those who already read Rendezvous with Rama but need their alien aliens fix I can highly recommend "Shroud" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It is a similar theme with modern writing and convincing aliens as is pretty much expected by now from Tchaikovsky.
This short story is set in the same universe as Tchaikovsky's excellent "Shroud" novel and in fact it's the same ship. I wonder where it sits in the chronology because I think the ending of Shroud surely permits an interesting sequel.
In Shroud, Tchaikovsky does very alien (“real” aliens, not “uplifts”) very well. Anthropocentrically, it does not “end well.” Literarily, it vies for my favorite SciFi read of ‘25. Technically, I read “There Is…
……但彼得·沃茨（Peter Watts）的《盲视》（Blindsight）给了我同样的感觉：“这简直太不可名状、太外星了，我完全猜不到接下来会发生什么”。其他具有类似情节结构和极度诡异异星氛围的书还有：- 阿德里安·柴可夫斯基（Adrian Tchaikovsky）的《Shroud》（这个帖子里别处也有人推荐）- 阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹（Alastair Reynolds）的《Pushing Ice》。我知道我还漏了一本我想不起来了。

对于那些已经读过《与拉玛相会》，但还想看真正“外星异类”过过瘾的人，我强烈推荐阿德里安·柴可夫斯基的《Shroud》。主题很相似，文笔更现代，而且外星人塑造得极有说服力——柴可夫斯基现在的作品基本都能达到这个预期。

这篇短篇小说与柴可夫斯基精彩的长篇小说《Shroud》设定在同一个宇宙中，实际上讲的是同一艘飞船。我很好奇它在时间线上处于什么位置，因为我觉得《Shroud》的结局绝对容得下一部有趣的续集。

在《Shroud》中，柴可夫斯基把极其异类的外星人（“真正的”外星人，而不是“被智化（uplifts）”的）写得绝了。从人类中心主义的角度来看，它的“结局并不好”。从文学角度来看，它是我25年最喜欢的科幻读物的有力竞争者。严格来说，我读了《There Is…
