The Cyberiad
Fables for the Cybernetic Age
Valoración del libro
Más información sobre el libro
With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most popular - and most critically acclaimed - science fiction writer of our day. In The Cyberiad he immerses the reader in a future run by and for machines - like those built by Trurl and Klapaucius, the great "cosmic constructors" who are, themselves, robots. The Cyberiad follows their escapades as they attempt to "out-invent" each other at home, or undertake (and often botch completely) gargantuan cybernetic feats in other galaxies: creating laser-eyed beasts, electronic push-button poetry-spouting bards, and machines that can construct anything in the universe...as long as it begins with the letter n. Drawing on fairy tale, folk tale, and mythology - as well as modern philosophical and mathematical thought - Lem has created a brilliant, deeply resonant work of genius.
