Star Diaries: Further Reminiscences of Ijon Tichy by Stanisław Lem

4.0

A lot of the ideas here were very cool, and if they opposed good sci-fi sense, they did so for the purpose of furthering the entertainment value. I enjoyed most of the stories, and a few were very amusing standouts. The primary exception was the overly-long twenty-first voyage, in which the philosophy and theology were quite boring. Through some archaic-seeming technology, the book shows its age – though this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, just a quirk.
