Preceded by the first edition published in 1970, this hardcover edition from 1973 is a 2 volume/2 book set of Stanislaw Lem's monograph on science fiction and futurology.
This book is written in Polish.
"The official Lem website describes the book as a triple feature: an attempt to create a theory of the genre, a self-interpretation of Lem's own works, and a review of the world's science fiction, "a yet another Lem's General Theory of Everything - everything related to science fiction and its role in human knowledge acquisition." In the book, Lem reviews and classifies works of over 400 science fiction writers."
