Lem is a philosopher in disguise as a science fiction writer, and one of the pioneers to use science fiction to discuss philosophical issues. This collection of short stories Lem's popular space traveler Ijon Tichy as the ultimate outsider, examining questions around organic life vs machine life, "creators" of life, the cost of knowledge, immortality, and time travel.

I'm particularly a fan of "The Eighteenth Voyage," Further Reminiscences of Ijon Tichy--II," and "IV,." "Further Reminiscences of Ijon Tichy--III" and "Professor A. Donda" are problematic.
