Christopher’s Reviews > The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy > Status Update

Somebody should have told Mr. Lem that an author is supposed to show, not tell. Too much of this book feels like lists of vague ideas explained in very few words before jumping on to the next. They are interesting ideas and it would have been nice to see them more fully developed, but as it is there's too much bluster and little bite.
