SYNOPSIS
The author of Solaris critiques science fiction in a collection of provocative essays.
Celebrated science fiction master Stanislaw Lem turns his always sharp and insightful pen to criticism in this bold and controversial analysis of the genre for which he is most known. In this collection of ten essays—ranging from an introspective examination of his own biographical and literary history to biting scrutiny of fellow authors and their works—Lem takes a keen look at the influence, shortcomings, merit, and importance of science fiction, touching on topics from Philip K. Dick ("a genius among the charlatans") to time travel, cosmology, and Jorge Luis Borges.
Whether deriding the genre’s tendency to adhere to well-worn patterns of adventure or lauding its ability to, when executed correctly, discover ideas that have not been thought of or done before, Lem’s quick wit, razor tongue, and impeccable insights make Microworlds a master class of scientific and literary analysis from one of the undisputed legends of science fiction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stanislaw Lem
Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) é um dos mais traduzidos e destacados autores polacos. Nos anos 40, estudou medicina e psicologia em Lviv e em Cracóvia. Foi forçado a obter documentos falsos – que o salvaram das câmaras de gás de Belzec – e, como mecânico, dedicou-se a sabotar carros alemães durante a invasão nazi. Publicou Solaris (1961), A Voz do Dono (1968) e livros com um humor inimitável, como Memórias Encontradas numa Banheira (1961) e Congresso Futurológico (1971). Em 1976, foi expulso da Associação Americana de Escritores de Ficção Científica, por ter criticado a qualidade da produção norte-americana no género. Legou-nos uma obra profundamente filosófica, norteada pela reflexão sobre as limitações humanas, o lado negro do progresso e o lugar do homem no Universo. Perdurará neste planeta como um mestre da sátira e da imaginação.
