"Look closely, then, and pray hard to the prophets, and when your faith is brimming over then you’ll see them—the beloved dead."

@hachepueyo.bsky.social discusses Mohamed Kheir's Slipping, a magical realism novel that defies easy categorization:

As with the best science fiction, Stanislaw Lem’s novel “The Invincible” has as much to teach us about our present situations as any futures we may face.

Cover for One Against the Moon. Man in spacesuit drags another. They are on the moon. There's a rocket ship. Earth is in the distance. Cover for World's Best Science Fiction: 1966. Cover is a vaguely city-like construct. There are spheres, towers, etc.

Stanislaw Lem's cult classic "His Master's Voice" made The Atlantic's summer reading list!

www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...
Cover of MIT Press's edition of Stanislaw Lem's book "His Master's Voice" followed by a single paragraph: "What would happen if humanity received a signal from outer space? In science fiction, the answer is usually something spectacularly bad, such as an alien invasion—or, more rarely, spectacularly good, such as a technological quantum leap. But when the scientists in Lem’s strange and thought-provoking novel detect a constantly repeating cosmic message, they’re left to solve a baffling mystery. Reading like a hybrid of Nabokov and Asimov, this book takes the form of a memoir by a mathematician who is recruited for a Manhattan Project–scale effort to decipher the signal. The premise allows Lem, the Polish sci-fi master, to reflect on questions that are just as challenging today as they were when the novel was published, in 1968: Are we alone in the universe? Would we recognize nonhuman minds even if we found them? And could any alien be more dangerous to humanity than we are to ourselves? — Adam Kirsch"
