In this novel, Lem presents us with a masterful portrait of the search for well-being in contemporary man, using irony and humor as narrative tools. After being revived in 2039 after a period of hibernation, Tichy finds himself in a world where peace and general well-being are the norm. However, this society, controlled by 'psychics', uses chemicals to manipulate feelings and eliminate spontaneity. Under a facade of abundance and comfort, Tichy discovers a disturbing reality that surpasses any imaginable hallucination.
