A review by bharath_sundararaj
Fiasco by Stanisław Lem

4.0

Fiasco follows one of Stanislaw Lem's common themes - alien intelligences are so far removed from humanity that is futile to attempt contact, and any attempt at understanding leads eventually to complete failure.

One an unrelated note, this novel was written almost 25 years ago - and it shows. There are no women in this book, not even the shadow of a hint of one.
It's almost as if mankind in the future has finally managed to get rid of the weaker sex, and not bothered to get around to mentioning it.
