On: Why Stanislaw Lem’s futurism deserves attention

[paddyzab]

There is one book by Lem, one of my favourite which was never translated to English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation_on_the_Spot

In which he describes a variant of reality where civilisation, engineers a security sphere on reality (called etykosfera - sphere of ethics, with nanobots called Bystry), which prevents beings from hurting them selfs in anyway.

He explores social consequences of such security layer.

Amazing book.

Just put it on my wish list for later ordering. Glad to see, it is available in my native tongue (German).

Kudos for the recommendation.
