Fiasco by Stanisław Lem
4.0
Lem is a favorite of mine, so I am biased. But the book has the tone you expect from a Polish sci-fi author: intent, serious, totally wry.
There are big robots in most of Lem's books, and this entire book is really just a set up to a punchline. You can almost hear him in the bar, telling his friends the story, and then deciding to write a novel about it.
It's got all the charm of that, plus the application and attention to detail that makes Lem eminently lovable.
