Peace on Earth

Ijon Tichy is the only human who knows for sure whether the self-programming robots on the moon are plotting a terrestrial invasion. But a highly focused ray severs his corpus collosum. Now his left brain can’t remember the secret and his uncooperative right brain won’t tell. Tichy struggles for control of the lost memory and of his own two warring sides.

Very thoughtful and entertaining

Lem at his best. Very thought provoking and easy to read at the same time

unique vision of the future of the arms race

this was an incredible, thought provoking piece of sci fi, pushing the boundaries of what science fiction can ask philosophically for both the individual Ijon as a main character and for the Earth and its future as a whole
