About this listen

Bringing his twin gifts of scientific speculation and scathing satire to bear on that hapless planet, Earth, Lem sends his unlucky cosmonaut, Ijon Tichy, to the Eighth Futurological Congress. Caught up in local revolution, Tichy is shot and so critically wounded that he is flashfrozen to await a future cure.

This is some seriously exhilarating sci fi. It’s wickedly funny, breathtaking in its twisted detail and profound in its visions. A seriously excellent tour d force and brilliantly narrated.

The best sci fi I’ve heard in yonks
