Back Cover:



"A major figure who just happens to be a science fiction writer. . . very likely, he is also the bestselling
SF writer in the world." -- Fantasy and Science Fiction



With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanisiaw Lem is perhaps the most popular
-- and most critically acclaimed -- science fiction writer of our day. InMEMOIRS FOUND IN A
BATHTUB, he projects a future America where a Uranian virus threatens the destruction of all paper.
The final stronghold of the "papyrocracy" is the hermetically sealed underground structure known only as
"The Building." Its labyrinthine net of corridors is a world of complete subterfuge -- with polygraph
mittens, bugged percolators, and microphone pillows. Into the clockwork precision of this vestigial
Pentagon plunges a young wanderer, unaware of the self-devouring complex of espionage that is a way
of life, the rhythm of The Building. . .

Lem has created a chilling, brilliantly satiric vision of "the ultimate bureaucracy" -- where
everyone is a spy, but no-one knows his mission.



"Lem is capable of an amazing richness of image and a great knack for characterization. He is wildly
comic, he is sardonic, perplexing, insightful." --THEODORE STURGEON, inThe New York Times
