  Lem's Futurological Congress
For example, Ijon Tichy reports that when the U.S. ambassador made a short speech, "he was surrounded by six muscular plainclothesmen who kept their guns trained on us all the time." One delegate is shot when he reaches for his handkerchief.
Ijon is nauseated by the bourgeois consumption of an endless swirl of cotton candy pleasures.
Ijon discovers that the robots, so prolific and apparently the perfect successors of the working class, were in fact only drugged people who thought themselves robots.

The book is actually a collection of stories, each one detailing the exploits of Ijon during one of his many adventures and missions in space and on strange worlds.
Ijon could not fix the rudder alone, and there were a bunch of other complications too, somehow involving a wrench and a steak, only one space suit, and a whole lot of bickering with duplicate Ijons (The time distortion you know…).
But of course, by then it was already too late, as the ship began to shake violently, and the Thursday Ijon fell down and blinked away in a cloud of mist that had enveloped half the interior of the room.

 FireBlade Book Review: The Star Diaries
That device consists of a system of cranks, pulleys and levers situated in various places about the dwelling and which the children push, pull and move in the course of their play, unaware that they are thereby pumping water, washing clothes, peeling potatoes, generating electricity, etc.
Ijon Tichy disguises himself as a robot and goes to investigate.
From the inability of Ijon Tichy to work together with others exactly like him, to the planet of the fearful robots, and the planet of the out-of-countrol bureau of irrigation, his visions of human madness are both funny and instructive.

While engaged in a clandestine operation on the moon's surface, agent Ijon Tichy suffers a mishap that severs the connections between his right and left brains, rendering himself his own worst enemy.
Ijon Tichy' stories are always fun to read, no exception here - some kind of combination of absurd and science fiction genres (of course, Stanislaw Lem has so much more than this).
Ijon Tichy, our favorite clutzy hero, who has been subjected to "benignimizers," time machines, insane robots and who was responsible for creating the universe, stays a little closer to home in this mind boggling little masterpiece.

Ijon is injured and wakes up in the year 2039 and a future nobody predicted.
Ijon Tichy is asked to save the Earth by spying on the robots that now inhabit the Moon.
This leaves Ijon in a state of conflict with himself as his vocal left hemisphere attempts to understand and communicate with his silent, but persistent, right hemisphere.

 Memoirs of a Space Traveler, Stanislaw Lem
Ijon Tichy is an ordinary space traveler whose extraordinary curiosity leads him to the very fringes of science.
Their plans are grandiose, the bargains they make too often Faustian, for the ends these scientists pursue concern humanity's greatest and most ancient obsessions: immortality, artificial intelligence, and top-of-the-line consumer items.
By turns philosophical, satirical, and absurd, Lem's stories follow Ijon's adventures as both an observer of--and participant in--strange experiments.

The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy by Stanislaw Lem
In this sequel to The Star Diaries, Ijon Tichy, space traveler of future centuries, discovers that "out there" isn't very different from "down here." Throughout these nine wild adventures, surprise follows witty surprise.
The main text is preceded by a publisher's note, which declares that contents of this book (my review refers to the Harvest edition published by Harcourt, Brace and Co.) appeared in the 1971 Polish edition of the book entitled "The Star Diaries," but not in the British and American editions with the same title.

Yes, well, I may haven neglected to mention it, but I _am_ a time traveler after all (ask any S. Lem fan), and a year's difference from humanity at large is a trifle I shan't bother with.

 The Cyberiad, Fables for the Cybernetic Age
Lem created two legendary figures, other than Trurl and Klapaucius: Ijon Tichy and Pirx the Pilot.
Lem wrote many other science-fiction stories, most of which deal with deep philosophical questions on our existence.
Not all of Lem's work is humoristic, but the Ijon Tichy and Pirx the Pilot stories certainly are.

 The Fourth Outfielder Baseball Blog: Ijon Tichy
However, I see no reason for the XBH inhibiting powers of Dodger Stadium to decline from the renovation, so going forward it's clear to me that the Dodgers should value FB pitchers more highly than GB pitchers.
Not to get all Ijon Tichy on you, but this wields a lot of explanatory power.
I think this certainly supports the notion that Kaz Ishii can rebound, as I discussed earlier.

Started out some time ago with big plans to make a short with him, but since I only had my sparetime to work with it I realized I would have to take at least a year off to do what I wanted with him.
Looks more like I'd imagine Pirx the Pilot than Ijon, but great nonetheless.
