The polish (sci-fi) writer Stanislaw Lem died yesterday ...
He's one my favorite writers ever. _____________________

I am a fan of his work, and his personal journeys, Rest In Peace.

If it were possible for a mind to discorporeate and wander the cosmos, Mr. Lem would be one of the ones who could do so. He will be missed but his works will probably be as plangent in a century as they are now.

Bad news.
Lem was a genius, but he'll live on in his books and in our minds. _____________________
