Lem Stanislav. Sum of technology. Series: Philosophy. Comments by S. Pereslegin, N. Yutanov, R. Ismailov M., St. Petersburg. AST, 2012 635s. hardcover, regular format.

The book is in good condition, with imperfections (spots) in the last photos. Minor contamination of the cut of a block of pages.

“What, exactly, is this “Sum”? A collection of essays about the fate of civilization, permeated with a 'general engineering' leitmotif? A cybernetic interpretation of the past and future? An image of the Cosmos as it presents it to the Designer? A story about the engineering activities of Nature and human hands? Scientific and technical forecast for the coming millennia? - A little bit of everything. How much is it possible, how much is it acceptable to trust this book? - I don’t have an answer to this question. I don't know which of my guesses and assumptions are more plausible. None of them are invulnerable, and the passage of time will erase many of them.” This is how the author himself defines the range of issues discussed in this book and his attitude towards them. In a fascinating way, S. Lem touches on both many problems of modern science and the problems that will face the science of the future. The translation, edited by Felix Shirokov, is slightly expanded in relation to the 1996 edition; some notes in the text have been restored.
