This reads as if you're trying to draw a similarity between Oumuamua and Rama, but if that's the case, Rama was spherical, so I don't see the similarity. The only other thing I can think of is that the 2OO1(&) monolith was rectangular, but they never really moved IIRC.

(&): Sorry, screenreaders, but it's so much nicer with the letter 'o' rather than zeros :/

...no? It was cylindrical in the book.

Holy crap. You're right! I read it back in February and must have consistently read "cylindrical" as "spherical" :o

I guess I should go back to see if the experience is better knowing the true shape...

Iirc, it was all cylindrical.
