Polish author Stanislaw Lem's The Star Diaries now on the Penguin Modern Classics imprint. The Cosmic voyages of space traveller Ijon Tichy take him on strange adventures in a vast stellar wilderness - encountering clones, crazed mutinous robots and tiny beings, meeting his future self in a time loop...Playful, absurd, irreverent and philosophical, The Star Diaries hold a satirical mirror up to humanity to examine freedom, technology and existence itself.
