The Star Diaries

Stanislaw Lem

Playful, absurd, irreverent and philosophical, The Star Diaries hold a satirical mirror up to humanity to examine freedom, technology and existence itself.

A Jorge Luis Borges for the Space Age - The New York Times

Stanislaw Lem’s set of short stories, written over a period of twenty years, all feature the adventures of space traveller Ijon Tichy and recount him spinning in time-warps, spying on robots, encountering bizarre civilizations and creatures in space and being hopelessly lost in a forest of supernovae. This is a philosophical satire on technology, theology, intelligence and human nature from one of the greatest of science fiction writers
