review:
The first story is one of the most entertaining time-travel stories I have read so far. Very clever and witty. And in classic Lem fashion - manages to also communicate the cynical take on human incompetence and genius at the same time. The collection as a whole is quite diverse - and as the afterword states these stories were written across the years and reflect the changing perspective of Lem in writing about things. Enjoyed most of them, though some stories were quite stretched in some places and I wonder if things go lost in translation.,
