Solaris by Stanisław Lem


Details
Synopsis:
A classic work of science fiction by renowned Polish novelist and satirist Stanislaw Lem.
When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds a painful, hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the living physical likeness of a long-dead lover. Others examining the planet, Kelvin learns, are plagued with their own repressed and newly corporeal memories. The Solaris ocean may be a massive brain that creates these incarnate memories, though its purpose in doing so is unknown, forcing the scientists to shift the focus of their quest and wonder if they can truly understand the universe without first understanding what lies within their hearts.
Event Information:
In some situations with big groups it may be necessary for the organiser to request a deposit for the cafe booking. This will be communicated in the week before the meeting.
Participants are expected to read the whole book or at least most of it, so that we can have a good discussion.
I will also PM all registered attendees through the Meetup chat function to confirm their attendance closer to date, and if you do not respond, and/or if you have a history of late cancellations/no-shows, I reserve the right to move you off the confirmed list to let a waitlisted person in.
If you require accommodations for disabilities, let me know when you RSVP.
