Hi Winter. I really liked Solaris. I felt more connection with the philosophical discussion than the technical science fiction side, but I appreciated the book as a whole. Since this was written before the computer and digital revolution, the characters were living in a space station loaded with hard copy books and paperwork. Hard to imagine now.
