    I was absolutely gutted to hear this earlier today. Lem was perhaps my favourite SF humourist - yep - even above Douglas Adams.

    Lem And Solaris (Score:0)

    Every snippet and news piece I've read about this over the past few days has only listed Solaris, which is too bad. The Cyberiad and The Futurlogical Congress are by far my favorite Lem works, and much superior to Solaris, I think.

    I guess this has to do with the general tack the media takes ATM in reducing people to one-trick-ponies... which is fine if you're the latest X-Factor finalist, but more than a tad unfair if it reduces a life's work to very little in an obituary note
