Lem's books are great but the hero you refer to is Ijon Tichy. Pilot Pirx is also Lem's character but stories on him are classical sf. Pirx is also a main character in Fiasco, Lem's last sf book.
- B1FF_PSUVM 7y ago> Ijon Tichy So, if you write it Lastname Firstname, do you (almost) get Tachyon? (I suspect Lem of always pulling legs ...)
- yeellow 7y agoWow, indeed. Lem is my favourite author and I read most of the books on him and his works and I am not sure I saw this. I will check if it is a well known fact but I doubt it is a coincidence.
- gambiting 7y agoAs much as I would like this to be true, I think it's unlikely - Tachyons were first suggested in a scientific paper in 1967, while Tichy first appeared in Star Diaries in 1957, 10 years prior.
