Know More:

Stanislaw Lem has died. Ever since I read his novel Fiasco, I fell in love with his Jorge Luis Borges-laced blend of science fiction. Every story was lovingly crafted, and it seemed like Lem had created a new set of encyclopedias alongside his skinny books. The Andrei Tarkovsky version of Lem's Solaris was the slowest and most uncanny movie I ever loved, and the novel was even better.

The Washington Post quotes Lem's review of the movie: "Tarkovsky wanted to show that the cosmos is very nasty and unpleasant, whereas on Earth it is fine. But I wrote and thought quite the contrary."

Book Ninja collected all the obituaries about this amazing writer. I'll never forget the first few pages of Fiasco, where he sends us crashing along the surface of a moon inside a gigantic robot. For the first time since I was a little kid, I could imagine every detail of that moon and everything around me felt unexplored. He will be missed...
