Stanisław Lem - Visionary mind

behind Solaris

Stanisław Lem was one of the most influential sci-fi writers of the 20th century. His 1961 novel Solaris explores the psychological effects of encountering an alien intelligence – a living ocean that reads human thoughts. Lem also foresaw modern technologies like the internet, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and e-books. His works are still referenced by NASA scientists, philosophers, and futurologists worldwide.
