Every time I'm reading this book, I'm truly amazed how come it got published in communist Poland? Fine example of “social fiction”: it uses SF staffage to show - no, not dystopian - socialist/communist society of Poland in '80s. And it does so, with excellent effect.It's a very important book for me, given I've spent my first 10 years in this kind of theatre. If you ever come by English translation of it, and you've enjoyed Nineteen Eighty-Four - you have to read that one.Fun fact: it got published in... year 1984. :)
