On the occasion of Stanisław Lem's birthday, the editorial staff of the Last Tavern decided to choose their favorite science-fiction books!
Philip K. Dick Through a dark mirror
Like Stanisław Lem, Philip Dick is one of the legends of the science fiction genre. In fact, one could easily take a random title for this list – it was For the Dark Mirror, a story about madness and, in a sense, self-destruction of the main character, brought about by Substance A (in the original D). The story of Bob Actor alias Fred is also in some ways the autobiography of an author who had a problem with drugs for a while. What stuck most in my mind was the elusive feeling of digging into Bob’s thoughts, which sometimes made me doubt my own sanity. Or at least read back a few or a dozen pages all over again.
