Just finished today Vacío Perfecto by Stanislav Lem, what can I say? A poor and few thoughts in my review 
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3287740506 : "if you have not read it yet, then add to your reading list. If you have read then read it again: you will be nicely surprised!"

Why read it again? Several books I read after and made the re-reading of Vacío Perfecto more enjoyable:
I Am a Strange Loop
Consciousness Explained
The Evolution of Cooperation
I Am a Strange LoopConsciousness ExplainedThe Evolution of Cooperation
and many more...
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
The Origins of Virtue: Human Instincts and the Evolution of Cooperation
The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature

and if anyone would like to add any philosophy book, of course please do it! for my next re-reading of Vacío Perfecto!
From the New Yorker article #quote In an essay on Borges, Lem said he loved the story “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” because it had a “perverse, but logically perfect structure.” The same could be said for much of Lem’s best writing...
...Perverse invention and rational coherence lock into each other at weird, compelling angles in his work
