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.
