Stanisław Lem

Polish science fiction writer and futurist who explored consciousness, artificial intelligence, and human limitations. Lem's novels like Solaris, The Cyberiad, and His Master's Voice combine hard science fiction with philosophical depth. His satirical approach and skepticism about human progress created uniquely pessimistic yet intellectually rigorous works. Lem's influence on science fiction and philosophy of mind is profound.
