Synopsis "peace on earth"

Ijon Tichy is the only human who knows for sure whether the self-programming robots on the moon are plotting a terrestrial invasion. But a highly focused ray severs his corpus collosum. Now his left brain can't remember the secret and his uncooperative right brain won't tell. Tichy struggles for control of the lost memory and of his own two warring sides. Translated by Elinor Ford with Michael Kandel. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

Stanisław Lem (1921-2006) was a prominent Polish writer in science fiction literature. Born in Lviv, he developed a prolific literary career that explored themes such as cybernetics, communication, and the human condition. His work is characterized by a deep philosophical sense and, at times, a humorous tone.

Among his most recognized works are Solaris (1961), The Cyberiad (1965), and The Futurological Congress (1971), all in the science fiction genre. Additionally, he wrote essays like Summa Technologiae (1964), where he reflects on the future of technology. His literary legacy has significantly influenced contemporary science fiction.
