Pewnie coś w stylu
best of both worlds, bo literacko nie gorzej od Ballarda czy Le Guin, a ładunek myślowy porównywalny do tego Clarke'a w stanach wyższych, czy Asimova w b. rzadkich porywach, i jeszcze sporo czysto lemowskiej oryginalności.
ps. Jeden z naszych nieaktywnych Forumowiczów (który ostatnio zawitał na Phoenixa) dorzucił jeszcze co dodały (w roli BOM-a i MUZG-a):
GrokStanisław Lem is best classified as a New Wave science fiction author, though his work doesn't fit neatly into any single category. The Golden Age of science fiction (roughly 1938–1950) focused on optimistic, technology-driven narratives with straightforward plots, often celebrating human progress. New Wave (1960s–1970s) emphasized literary experimentation, psychological depth, and philosophical themes, often questioning technology and human nature.
Lem, active primarily from the 1950s onward, aligns more with New Wave. His novels like Solaris (1961) and The Cyberiad (1965) explore complex philosophical questions, human limitations, and the unknowability of alien intelligence, often with a satirical or introspective tone. Unlike Golden Age authors (e.g., Asimov, Heinlein), Lem's work prioritizes ambiguity, existential themes, and literary style over clear resolutions or technological optimism. However, his early work, like The Astronauts (1951), has some Golden Age optimism, showing a transitional influence.
So, while he began in a period overlapping with late Golden Age, Lem’s focus on philosophical depth, skepticism of progress, and experimental style firmly places him in the New Wave camp.i
GeminiStanisław Lem is generally considered a New Wave author, though his work also transcends easy categorization.
Here's why:
Critique of Traditional SF: Lem's work often questioned the optimistic, technology-driven narratives common in the Golden Age of science fiction. He delved into philosophical, psychological, and sociological themes, exploring the limitations of human understanding and the complexities of contact with alien intelligence.
Literary Experimentation: The New Wave movement, emerging in the 1960s and 70s, emphasized literary experimentation, greater stylistic sophistication, and a focus on inner space rather than just outer space.
Lem's novels, with their intricate philosophical dilemmas, often ambiguous endings, and diverse narrative forms, align well with these characteristics.
Themes: His works, like "Solaris," "The Cyberiad," and "His Master's Voice," are prime examples of New Wave concerns, focusing on the nature of consciousness, communication breakdown, and the inherent human flaws that make truly objective understanding difficult.
While some of his earlier works might share some surface-level similarities with Golden Age tropes (like space travel), his deeper themes and sophisticated approach firmly place him within the New Wave. He was a visionary who pushed the boundaries of what science fiction could be.(Wyszło na to, że Nowej Fali zaszczyt Lemem machiny uczyniły
