"Rating "Solaris" in 2022 would be a sacrilege. This book is beyond ratings.
Honestly - when you read it and realize that it has been written in 1961 (!!!) - wow, it's just mind-blowing. Sixty-one years have passed and the book has pretty much not aged" Read more of this review » |

“Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity.

“If something can cross over from conceptual space into reality, taking physical form, then something can cross in the opposite direction. It must be possible to take a physical entity, mechanically extract the idea which it embodies, amplify that idea and broadcast it up into conceptual space. A bigger idea. A better idea, one designed specifically to fight SCP-3125. An ideal. A movement. A hero.”
