After martial law was imposed in Poland, Stanisław Lem left the country and moved with his family to Vienna, where he lived from about 1983 to 1988. His son recalled that martial law cut his father off from the Western press, scientific journals, and foreign publishers; Lem himself said he could not work without connections to the outside world.
