Lem's last work, a 2005 essay "Głosy z sieci" ("Voices from the Net"), contained answers to questions from Russian internet users to Lem. It was revealed there that Encyclopaedia Cosmica was a hoax. Speculations about sepulkas and their "pornosphericity" must be dismissed. In Observation on the Spot it is revealed that the planet Enteropia does not exist and was a camouflage for the planet Entia. The clerk and other customers are shocked and appalled by his attempt and Tichy is forced to leave. Eventually Tichy decides to purchase a sepulka, but when asked by a clerk where his wife is he admits he's a bachelor.
