    <![CDATA[ With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most popular &amp; most critically acclaimed science fiction writer of our day. In THE STAR DIARIES he recounts the further adventures of the delightfully wacky spaceman Ijon Tichy who whizzes thru time &amp; deep space in his interstellar Model T--running out of gas between planets, encountering space gypsies who clean moons for a living, robot theologians who live in caves &amp; renegade potatoes who destroy spaceships. Somewhere out there in the universe he meets his &quot;tomorrow self,&quot; quarrels with Plato &amp; reflects on the natural decency of electronic brains.<br/> THE STAR DIARIES is a magnificently surrealistic GULLIVER'S TRAVELS in outer space that makes pleasant mockery of our 20th century beliefs &amp; institutions.]]>

    <![CDATA[ With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most popular &amp; most critically acclaimed science fiction writer of our day. In THE STAR DIARIES he recounts the further adventures of the delightfully wacky spaceman Ijon Tichy who whizzes thru time &amp; deep space in his interstellar Model T--running out of gas between planets, encountering space gypsies who clean moons for a living, robot theologians who live in caves &amp; renegade potatoes who destroy spaceships. Somewhere out there in the universe he meets his &quot;tomorrow self,&quot; quarrels with Plato &amp; reflects on the natural decency of electronic brains.<br/> THE STAR DIARIES is a magnificently surrealistic GULLIVER'S TRAVELS in outer space that makes pleasant mockery of our 20th century beliefs &amp; institutions.]]>

    <![CDATA[ With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most popular &amp; most critically acclaimed science fiction writer of our day. In THE STAR DIARIES he recounts the further adventures of the delightfully wacky spaceman Ijon Tichy who whizzes thru time &amp; deep space in his interstellar Model T--running out of gas between planets, encountering space gypsies who clean moons for a living, robot theologians who live in caves &amp; renegade potatoes who destroy spaceships. Somewhere out there in the universe he meets his &quot;tomorrow self,&quot; quarrels with Plato &amp; reflects on the natural decency of electronic brains.<br/> THE STAR DIARIES is a magnificently surrealistic GULLIVER'S TRAVELS in outer space that makes pleasant mockery of our 20th century beliefs &amp; institutions.]]>
