| Summary |
Nowa edycja popularnej ksiazki Stanislawa Lema, która autor uwaza za swój prywatny wklad w poetyke literatury science fiction. Nikt bowiem nie skrzyzowal w taki sposób przyszlosciowej fantastyki z basnia i filozoficzna powiastka, nikt nie sporzadzil takiego stopu materii ,,naukowo-technicznej" z basniowym sztafazem przedstawionego swiata. Cyberiada - zabawny melanz tradycyjnej basni i literatury science fiction z konstruktorami w roli czarowników i cudami, które sa tam tylko niebywale rozwinieta inzynierska sprawnoscia - stanowi swego rodzaju przestroge przed brakiem umiaru, etyki i zbytnia wiara we wszechmoc inzynierii. Nowe wydanie slynnego dziela Stanislawa Lema to takze nowa okladka - zaprojektowal ja jeden z najbardziej cenionych grafików mlodego pokolenia Przemyslaw Debowski. |
