A Meeting with Medusa by Arthur C. ClarkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fun short story! It starts slow, the interesting part only starts in Chapter 2. Initially I thought it was going to be weird to hear a story about human exploration of Jupiter, but they make some good arguments for it. Despite some dated concepts, I always like alien contact stories in which the Aliens have wildly different biologies. I was also surprised to see the "Prime Directive" here - I wonder what is the connection with Star Trek? Finally, the ending chapter was interesting, seems to be pointing out to a greater story and larger themes, but then it just ends. Still good though!
