The year is 2131; Project Spaceguard has found that a 50km long asteroid has entered our solar system and hurtling toward the sun. Upon closer inspection scientists found it defies any known properties of asteroids. The unknown object, codenamed RAMA, is not a natural object at all - it's artificial and very old, far older than the oldest object ever made by mankind.
Rendezvous with Rama is one of the most recommended books when it comes to classic science fiction and deservedly so. Its take on the theme of first contact is surprisingly relevant and enthralling even to this day. Just like 2001- a space odyssey, Rendezvous with Rama will surprise you with Arthir C Clarke's grip on science and hardcore sci-fi concepts. You can even spot some inspiration that Chris Nolan had got for his film, Interstellar; for example those tidal waves and cooper station.
