I've never been to /lit/ before. Should I buy this book?

Seems really weird.

>> No.1099884

>book

Get out.

I googled and picked the first remotely cover looking picture, didn't see that shit all over it.

Question still stands.

>buy

pffahahhaha

Seriously though that's a horrible book I wouldn't waste my money

I think he may well be referring to the face that it's a short story.

A short story that is widely available on the internet.

>> No.1099912

I'd get it. It is a collection of short stories. While it isn't Harlan Ellison's best collection, they are all good and two of them are his best (IHNMAIMS and Lonelyache).

>implying the .pdf isn't online
It's actually open-domain, IIRC

>> No.1099946

it's classic machine/god rebellion plot (with a sadist twist)

/lit/ judges "meh"
/lit/ deems Lem's Ijon Tichy robot revenge story to score more points both in originality and in humour.

i lost some sleep because of that book. Story was fucked up.

>> No.1100086

people are trolling you or being pretentious faggots, OP. (both?) Anyway, the title story of that collection is a very, very good short story. Worth buying for that alone. Go ahead and do it! = )

Isn't it that movie with the kid and the huge fucking robot?

All I remember is they give some guy laxatives and he takes a shit behind a bush, but fuck if I know the name of the movie..
