RIP Stanislaw Lem

[Kejtar]

Today we lost Stanislaw Lem, one of the biggest non US SciFi authors. His books and stories included Solaris, The Star Diaries, The Cyberiad, Mortal Engines and many more.

:read: Wow, I read Solaris years ago and saw the movie in the 70's. I saw the new version just yesterday. Strange story in some ways.

The new version was slightly... well poor due to rewrites in the original story (kind of like what they did with all the book movies recently). Anyways if you ever get a chance to get your hands on some of his short stories give them a try.

Too bad. I liked Pirx the Pilot.
