I, on the other hand, am surprised that someone from outside Poland knows Stanisław Lem so well. I thought that these were a bit of an exaggeration about his recognition in the world. Well, that's how it is with representatives of the Western world - they are usually more popular than experts from poorer countries like Poland.
I completely agree that predicting the future becomes complicated when many factors are involved. It requires knowledge of many different fields and the ability to combine them. Thank you for this post.
