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 i
n time-warps, spying on robots, encountering bizarre civilizations and creatures
in space and being hopelessly lost in a forest of supernovae. This is a philoso
phical satire on technology, theology, intelligence and human nature from one of
the greatest of science fiction writers.
