Even when on their guard, human beings inevitably theorize.
- Stanislaw Lem, Solaris, p. 120
I was thinking about Solaris yet again the other day, picked it up to browse through, and got caught up in the story again. It's a fascinating tale about the inability of the human mind to comprehend anything other then itself. One of the best novels i've ever read, much less SciFi.
(And, as i've mentioned before, please steer clear of the George Clooney movie. It does this book absolutely no justice.)
