Stanislaw Lem on Google Doodle
Writer of science fiction with world wide popularity. He is perhaps best known as the author of the 1961 novel Solaris, which has been made into a feature film three times.
Today Google reminds for his works with an interesting animation and logical game.
“Good books tell the truth, even when they’re about things that never have been and never will be. They’re truthful in a different way.”
Lem set the boundaries of the genre; Lem defined the genre; all young writers reflected Lem and competed with Lem. How could one author so completely dominate an entire literary category? It’s simple: he was quite simply a genius, with a mind that could fully display its powers precisely within the domain of science fiction.
