Just learned about him a few weeks ago (here). I bought three of his books and so far have only read The Invinvible Based on this I will read more and recommend him. I'm happy to have found more 60s space fiction - I'm not very sophisticated in the area but would compare it to e.g. Asimov. I love the mix of interstellar travel and a mastery of all things nuclear but still using telegraphs and slide rules.
- pmoriarty 5y agoI'd strongly recommend Lem's Cyberiad. It rivals Douglas Adams in humor.
- rasz 5y agoStar diaries are also fun. Here is humorous German TV adaptation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO9ppicjlFg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO9ppicjlFg
- sn41 5y agoIf you want to read some of his more somber novels, I highly recommend Fiasco, Solaris and His Master's Voice.
