I initially started Fiasco earlier this year. But, then my dog died, and seasonal depression and feeling trapped at my job had me in a bit of a spiral.
I think I'm ready to continue. It's already a delight. Lem used such a complex vocabulary, and so effectively - his translators deserve some credit as well - obviously, he's massively inventive...
I've just never read anything like Lem. So stupefyingly unique.

Admittedly, first contact is a looming and persistent theme in sci-fi - but, I feel like Fiasco deeply informed Three Body.
I could be wrong. Even so - conceptually, it feels like Fiasco spiritually inspired Three Body.

Fiasco has some very dry, slow sections, but then these wild things occur and twenty-thirty pages are suddenly gone. I wish Lem wrote more dialogue. The pacing is just so inconsistent.
