Read this a couple weeks ago but forgot to post it. Lem is insane (as usual). The first "story" is about a book that is similar to an almanac except that it contains statistics on EVERYTHING that happens on the earth every minute. Then there's one on Aliens and the probability which I thought was really cool because I always say, "With so many stars there has to be other life." But he starts doing the math on the conditions under which life arose here and you start to lose hope. The other story is about a future earth where computers take over everything (it's not a nice place) which was also pretty cool. So it was quick, enjoyable and educational all around.

More like 3.5 stars. Lem rocks! (or rocked actually because he's not around anymore.)
