{"product_id":"the-invincible-the-mit-press","title":"The Invincible (The MIT Press) by Stanislaw Lem","description":"A space cruiser, in search of its sister ship, encounters beings descended from self-replicating machines.\u003cbr\u003eIn the grand tradition of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, Stanisław Lem's The Invincible 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 The Invincible, Lem has his characters confront the inexplicable and the bizarre: the problem that lies just beyond analytical reach.","brand":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50283779588411,"sku":"0262538474","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/12497743482281.jpg?v=1746960136","url":"https:\/\/bustdownbooks.com\/products\/the-invincible-the-mit-press","provider":"Bust-Down Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
