LEM, Stanislaw könyvei

Lem’s recent book is in fact a collection of essays, but these writings are interconnected, as if they were a shortened version of one bigger comprehensive essay. After almost four decades the author returns to the main topics of Summa technologiae, and checks his own former predictions against the present plight of human knowledge and creativity.. The recurrent themes are: making connections between biological and technological developments; artificial intelligence; alian civilizationsm in the Universe and the chances of getting in touch with them.. Lem is a genuin eschatological thinker, who always asks the ultimate questions.

Who is it that speaks to us in DILEMMAS - a naysayer or a rationalist? A deeply involved commentator and participant of reality or merely a skeptical observer of the theatrum mundi? What habits and antipathies does the author betray to his readers? What problems wake him in the middle of the night? Stanislaw Lem’s most recent book poses questions that are both universal and specific, disquieting and surprising, current and almost eternal: Can we safely consume the fruits of our freedom? How do we choose from among products that are all "necessary"? When do we need to be brought back to earth? What are the limits of professionalism?

The "Sex Wars" is the last essay collection of Stanislaw Lem. Its main topic is the possible solutions for the problem of the rapidly growing population of the Earth.
