Loved this anthology and was sad to see the end of it. It was on the same level of enjoyment for me as The Cyberiad was. Clearly, Stanislaw Lem wrote what he thought would be good instead of popular - as although most people and writers who I speak to about Lem have never heard of his works, I believe anyone can read a random story of his and enjoy it. 

I don't know if I have a favourite from this anthology; there were some parts where the story went slower, and this was not always captivating, but it never stopped me from enjoying the book or wanting to pick it up. Highly recommended.
