In memoriam: Stanislaw Lem

[winter]

Stanislaw Lem passed on today.

If you don't know who he is, get to a library already. The Star Diaries are genius, and then it gets better.

What? Damn. The world is lessened by his passing.

*Symbolically buries graven images of Klapaucius and Trurl... and, of course, the Eight-Storey Thinking Machine*

Today's paper had the whole front done up in mourning, too. And in line at the post office, people noticed me reading it and we all went "Geeze, he was suppposed to be forever!"
