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","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53017167823168,"sku":"9780262538473","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/8912\/3648\/files\/imageloader_4ab18b66-ebbf-4c68-8589-a8cb59272f27.jpg?v=1786542636","url":"https:\/\/silverstreetbooks.com\/products\/the-invincible","provider":"silverstreetbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
