Kris Kelvin is sent to the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, but his research is not so simple as he and the other crew are plagued with their own painful memories. Could it be the ocean creating these memories, and for what reason?

Solaris raises the pivotal question: “Can we truly understand the universe around us without first understanding what lies within?”

This episode we’re reading Solaris by Stanisław Lem up to, but not including, the chapter titled: Monsters.
