Five Lems: Jonathan Lethem on Stanisław Lem

Love the books of Stanislaw Lem, in each of their unique storytelling, imaginative glory. Thank you Jonathan for your wonderful insights into his books! Time to re-read Lem!!

The master of European sci-fi

Intriguing. I might look into this.

You missed Hospital of the Transfiguration.

What if anything seems possible? What constraints underlying possibility itself still hold meaning?

Nice one!

Summa technologiae.... Futurismo Fashismo over hundred years ago vision that inspired Nazi space race..

The world as cataclysm
Civilization as a mistake

Make sense in face of central banks climate change population control covid pharma industry biowarfare in the name of Public Health security and nuclear escalation in the name of democracy, it's definitely reflecting G7 seven heads of same beast 666 as Bible revealed...

Z...y doesn't allow elections and we need to suffer lower living standards for U....n democracy!

Truth is but a paradox" as Einstein said

There was and always been only one Lem. -you just cannot believe that one guy could write in different styles.

In one of interviews, when asked Lem explicitly said he is not a postmodernist.

I dig Lethem's take on libertarian hard SF.

First 2, than 4 and finally 5. That's the order they "ignited" in my mind. Now I reread him and explore those texts I previously omitted. And also read biographies that are recently published. Many unknown and extremely interesting facts are being revealed.

Excellent, thanks! Now I want to read more Lem and also Lethem.

Excellent

Way to show off your vocabulary.

More of this! Great stuff.

👌👍
