Description: This design plays with a clever sci-fi bait-and-switch: it evokes Rendezvous with Rama, the classic novel about a silent, incomprehensible alien visitor, and then deliberately crosses it out to replace it with 3I/ATLAS, echoing today’s fascination and anxiety around newly discovered interstellar objects. By treating a real astronomical event as if it were pulp science fiction, the artwork blurs the line between literature, speculation, and modern cosmic paranoia. It is a tribute, a joke, and a warning poster all at once — made for readers who know that sometimes reality catches up with science fiction.
