G. Wells and Jules Verne, Stanislaw Lem's \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a space cruiser sent to an obscure planet to determine the fate of a sister spaceship whose communication with Earth has abruptly ceased. Landing on the planet Regis III, navigator Rohan and his crew discover a form of life that has apparently evolved from autonomous, self-replicating machines--perhaps the survivors of a \"robot war.\" Rohan and his men are forced to confront the classic quandary: what course of action can humanity take once it has reached the limits of its knowledge? In \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e, Lem has his characters confront the inexplicable and the bizarre: the problem that lies just beyond analytical reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262538473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Stanislaw Lem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635413086364,"sku":"9780262538473","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ef55bf2c-ab60-4415-b0a4-3679cb004357.jpg?v=1603839479","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-invincible-9780262538473","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
