R.I.P. Stanislaw Lem

Polish sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem died of heart failure yesterday at the age of 84.

He is best known for the existential space novel SOLARIS, later made into the 1972 Russian classic film by Andrei Tarkovsky, as well as the 2002 underrated, misunderstood remake from Steven Soderbergh.
