Books by Stanisław Lem
Solaris
by Stanisław Lem
· published 1961 · read 2013-11-01
★★★☆☆
Solaris is creepy, but in a good way. One of the relatively few earlier scifi books that spoke to me. A bit too kafkaesque for my taste, maybe, but good execution nevertheless. The foggy planet is creepy even before it starts doing things.
Die Stimme des Herrn
by Stanisław Lem
· published 1968 · read 2022-04-24
★☆☆☆☆
Did not finish. Dense, philosophical, felt deeply pointless and like I was just waiting for it to be over. The alien message gets never decoded, and everything is grey and sucks. This book is part of the 2022 Backlog Incident.
