The first novel to appear in English from Polish sci-fi master—and heir to Stanislaw Lem—Marek S. Huberath.
"A masterwork not of science fiction, but of Polish fiction."
—3:AM Magazine
"This novel puts your brain on a fast-moving treadmill and asks fascinating questions about the nature of human existence…. A wonderful introduction to the world of contemporary Polish science fiction, and a powerful, probing story that prompts thoughtfulness and self-awareness."
