		He deemed the science in Cyberiad to be completely unscientific, and thought it was primarily a framework for a social commentary.
		Stanislaw Lem wrote Cyberiad in the socialist Poland, where literature, art, and public discourse were heavily controlled by the communist government, to keep out the ideas they considered threatening to the communist ideology.
		Another reader comments on how Lem had to shape Cyberiad to fit the mold of socialist realism, as was required of writers in a communist society.

	Lem: Cyberiad
		Partly, Lem's significance proceeds from the fact that he is knowledgeable about the philosophy of literature and the challenge to it by the analytic tradition in philosophy and by pervasive technology.
		The central concern of The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age is to demonstrate that engineering science and fiction which emulates engineering science are self-defeating unless they are enveloped by humanistic guidance and evaluation.
		The Cyberiad may very well be one of the seminal works creating new metaphors, identifying new concerns, and even suggesting a new genre to deal with unprecedented experiences.

		This "Cyberiad test" is based on the supposition that if we ever reach the point that we can construct our robot equivalents, then these constructed robots will also be intelligent enough to construct themselves.
		I proposed the Cyberiad test as a means for us to evaluate just what is required of our robots if they are to match our abilities as a species, as well as to evaluate theoretical scenarios as to how future cybernetic scientists might construct our robot-equivalents.
		The Cyberiad test goes beyond the Turing test by providing a criterion that takes into account the fact that we - as humans - will never be able to predict our own future creative and adaptive acts as a species.

		The Cyberiad is definitely funny, at times profound, and certainly entertains with character idiosyncracies.
		In this case, the two main characters are constructors who can build pretty much anything, including a simulation of the entire universe, though with somewhat mixed results, as in the initial tale with the giant computer that can't quite add (and gets huffy about it).
		There are few books that make the geek in me smile as much as The Cyberiad does.

	Floof (Songs of a Homeostatic Homer), Esa-Pekka Salonen
		Once, when I was reading The Cyberiad by the Polish sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem, and in particular the story of the attempt by a man called Trurl to invent a poetry machine, I was reminded of the Toimii Ensemble.
		Floof, which draws from the Polish science-fiction writer Stanislaw Lem’s The Cyberiad, is a humorous work that inhabits a strange sound-world – its five instrumentalists and coloratura soprano are amplified to give an almost “pop” flavour.
		The young Finnish singer Anu Komsi was an outstanding soloist, whose feat was not only to produce the guttural noises and piercing, stratospheric notes, but to deliver the text flawlessly from memory.

		I’m not even a third of the way through Lem’s The Cyberiad, but i’m struck with how it reminds me of mythology, with a pair of trickster-heroes inventing and lying their way through reality.
		Poor Adams… i don’t doubt for a moment now that he read Lem’s work or lifted elements from it, but he also came from a tradition of British humor that Lem borrowed little or nothing from.
		I’ve also started Lem’s The Cyberiad, definitely the first time that i’ve read it.

		The Cyberiad is a collection of short fiction that centers around the exploits of Trurl and Klapaucius, two brilliant Constructors of no small renown.
		The amazing thing about these sci-fi story snippets is that they have the mythic resonance of folklore; managing to be witty and cute, yet simultaneously chilling.

		The Cyberiad is probably the better of the two collections, but it's a close-run thing.
		As this first story progresses, the universe itself is endangered (for Nothingness, my friend, also starts with `n`).
		Cyberiad is a compendium of very short stories `for the cybernetic age`, all linked by the metallic-but-exceedingly-human characters of Trurl and Klapaucius.
