''Memoirs Found in a Bathtub'' (a literal translation of the original Polish-language title: ''Pamiętnik znaleziony w wannie'') is a science fiction novel by Stanisław Lem first published in 1961. It was first published in English in 1973 (ISBN 0-8164-9128-3); a second edition was published in 1986 (ISBN 0-15-658585-5). ==Plot summary== Set in the distant future, ''Memoirs Found in a Bathtub'' is a first-hand account of a bureaucratic agent trapped deep within the subterranean bowels of a vast underground military complex. In a Kafkaesque maelstrom of terrifying confusion and utter insanity, this man must attempt to follow his mission directives of conducting an "on-the-spot investigation. Verify. Search. Destroy. Incite. Inform. Over and out. On the ''n''th day ''n''th hour sector ''n'' subsector ''n'' rendezvous with N." The narrator inhabits a paranoid dystopia where nothing is as it seems, chaos seems to rule all events, and everyone is deeply suspicious of everyone else. In danger of losing his mind, the protagonist starts keeping a diary, and it is this diary which details only a few days in his life that is ultimately found by a future society and given the title ''Notes from the Neogene.'' ''Memoirs Found in a Bathtub'' is this distant voice from the past, this ''Notes from the Neogene.''
