Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Translated by Elinor Ford with Michael Kandel. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book Synopsis:Are the self-programming robots on the moon ensuring "peace on Earth", or are they secretly plotting a terrestrial invasion of their own? This "futuristic version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (Boston Phoenix) presents a hilarious take on the conflict between the world's two hemispheres from "one of science fiction's true intellectuals" (Kirkus).
