Still working on The Invincible by Stanislaw Lem. Finally getting into the meat of it! The author is good at getting across the dusty feel of the planet without spending paragraphs on it; I feel like that's an underappreciated skill.
Huh, I haven't read that one yet and I'm a huge Lem fan.
Have you read Eden? That's always been my favorite. It explores the question of how alien aliens would really be if we encountered them. Something that most sci-fi conveniently either glosses over completely or uses earth-like comparisons like reptiloid, etc.
Also the automated factory that produces nothing... ๐๐
I have not! This is my first Lem. I'll take a look at it; thanks for the rec!
