Stanislaw Lem reportedly dead at 84


Wikipedia reports that Stanislaw Lem, the Polish science fiction author of such amazing novels as Solaris, died today at age 84. More details in
this obit from DNA India. Link (Thanks, RonK!)

Update: Benjamin sez, "The front page of Rzeczpospolita, Poland's paper of record, is reporting Lem's death on the front page. The article doesn't specify cause of death, only that he'd been in hospital for several weeks.
