Summa technologiae by Stanisław Lem5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Surprising as it can be, some issues discussed in the book sound more contemporary nowadays than 40 years ago. He also looks at moral-ethical and philosophical consequences of future technologies.ĭespite its age and a number of inaccuracies in specific domains (e.g., mathematics, biology, sociology), the book has lost no momentum in the past years. ![]() The primary question Lem treats in the book is that of civilization in the absence of limitations, both technological and material. Paraphrasing the author, the book tries to "examine the thorns of roses that have not flowered yet" - in other words, to deal with problems of the remote (and in some cases, not so remote) future. ![]()
