An Excellent Collection of Short Stories Featuring

Makes for a great read. Each story is strong on its own, and most are short enough to read in one sitting. In these tales we see Pirx has matured from a bemused rookie into a somewhat world-weary expert pilot.
Pirx's adventures take him from the vastness of space to the colonies on mars and on the moon, as well as to an uninhabited earth-like planet who's rocky spires beg to be conquered.
The focus of most of the stories is artificial intelligence gone awry and man's over-reliance on technology. All are written with Lem's trademark humor, technological realism, and eye for human character traits. A must-have for Lem fans, and a great buy for sci-fi lovers in general.

In elementary school it was the first encounter with the fantastic books Lem. The book stimulates the imagination.
I remember that on the basis of the story I wrote his story about the visit Mr. Twardowski on the moon.
