The Futurological Congress

Ijon Tichy, an unlucky space traveller, attends the Eighth Futurological Congress in chaotic, overpopulated Costa Rica, where scientists hide in a hotel fitted with tear-gas sprinklers. A sudden revolution and hallucinogenic-laced water throw everything into absurd chaos, leaving Tichy shot, frozen, and waking in a future he could never have dreamed of. Why You Should Read? A witty, satirical take on politics, technology, and human folly. Blends sharp humour with mind-bending science fiction. Perfect for readers who enjoy imaginative, absurd adventures. A classic by one of the twentieth century’s most inventive sci-fi voices.
