Meer over het boek

With over six million of his books in print worldwide, Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most popular - and most critically acclaimed - science fiction writer of our day. In The Cyberiad he immerses the reader in a future run by and for machines - like those built by Trurl and Klapaucius, the great "cosmic constructors" who are, themselves, robots. The Cyberiad follows their escapades as they attempt to "out-invent" each other at home, or undertake (and often botch completely) gargantuan cybernetic feats in other galaxies: creating laser-eyed beasts, electronic push-button poetry-spouting bards, and machines that can construct anything in the universe...as long as it begins with the letter n. Drawing on fairy tale, folk tale, and mythology - as well as modern philosophical and mathematical thought - Lem has created a brilliant, deeply resonant work of genius.
