There's a show I have just started watching, possibly on Amazon, called "Debris". The idea is that a derelict spaceship of enormous size enters our solar system, and breaks up. Debris of various unknown properties and purpose begins raining down on Earth.

What happens next?

It's interesting to think that the first aliens to make contact with us could possibly be dead... their ship broken in some way that failed to support their life. What do we do then? (Was that what Oumuamua was? AKA, "Rama", as KB will say?)

Read Roadside Picnic, and Amazon says I bought Spin back in 2016 ... but haven't read it yet. Derp.

I shall get on that.

Roadside Picnic was ... interesting. Clearly the makers of Debris have read it, and decided to go more sparkly-vampire with the story, but I like the idea anyway.

Roadside Picnic is Tarkovsky's Stalker.
