«Congreso de futurología» is the science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Cosmonaut Ijon Tichy wakes after a period of hibernation in a world where peace and well-being reign, controlled by "psychochemistry": people learn and love through chemicals, and feelings are manipulated. Beneath that idyllic facade, Tichy discovers a disturbing reality. An ironic satire on the aspiration to well-being.

For readers of science fiction, dystopias, and satirical humor.
