The Futurological Congress

This book might be part of the Ijon Tichy series.

Bringing his twin gifts of scientific speculation and scathing satire to bear on that hapless planet, Earth, Lem sends his unlucky cosmonaut, Ijon Tichy, to the Eighth Futurological Congress. Caught up in local revolution, Tichy is shot and so critically wounded that he is flashfrozen to await a future cure. Translated by Michael Kandel.

Rezensionen

Pablo hat The Futurological Congress von Stanisław Lem besprochen (Ijon Tichy, #3)

Amazingly crazy and sometimes fever-dreamish

5 Sterne

This has been probably one of the best satirical sci-fi books I've ever read. It feels hopeless yet funny at the same time. The pace of it kept me hooked throughout. Started and finished reading it on the same day. Makes me want to read more from the series!
