His book Chain of Chance is well worth reading for almost any young person as a valuable lesson about the power of large numbers. It's a short book, but it illustrates the principle so clearly. I wish everyone were required to read it in fifth grade or so. It would help society be a little harder to fool.
@mina Ich habe Solaris auf Polnisch gelesen, juhu! Wie auch die Robotermärchen. Von der Waschmaschine habe ich noch nicht gehört - gleich mal auf die Lektüreliste setzen.
@mina I was lucky enough to do my German A-levels through the works of Mr. Lem.
and I also had contact with his family once when I wanted to make an indie animated film based on “solaris”. they thought my draft was good enough, but the rights were already with 20th century fox and they had no desire to release indie rights. not even paid.
I think about various passages from Lem's works relatively often.
