Last month I decided to reread my Lem collection. Started Solaris yesterday. (I’ve read it three or four times before.)

Memoirs Found in a Bathtub is one of my favorite books ever. It’s Lem’s sci-fi retelling of Kafka’s The Castle.

  • The story with the improbability generator is in the short story collection “The Cyberiad”.

    Adams said something to the effect of: I’m certainly aware of that story now, but I wasn’t when I wrote HHGTTG, it was a coincidence.
