The Cyberiad - Stanisław Lem

Hi everyone,

For August, we'll be reading another collection of short stories. This time from the famed Polish author Stanisław Lem. Lem's style shifts from story to story, and his tone can go from very serious (Solaris) to playful and jaunty (Pirx the Pilot). But there are some elements that seem to remain consistent in his storytelling. Lem writes about compassion and the human experience. He shows it through myriad lenses but usually inspires readers to consider their perception as it relates to the world around them.

Book of the Month
The Cyberiad - Stanisław Lem (1965)

I'm excited to see what this collection of connected shorts has in store for us. Written in the years after Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, I wonder if we'll see any nods or a similar approach to the book. This collection leans more into the humorous sci-fi realm, so it should be a fun beach read for August.

To join a Book Club meeting, all you will need is YOURSELF. If you haven’t had a chance to finish the book, we still would love for you to join us in the discussion.
