Yesterday was the 95 anniversary of the birth of the greatest Polish Sci-Fi writer, philosopher and a trained physician ~ Stanisław Lem (12 September 1921), who died 27 March, 2006, in Kraków. Compared often to Philip K. Dick, he corresponded also with Arthur C. Clarke, and as not many people around the world know, the very idea of rotating space station which Clarke described in a Space Odyssey, was inspired by the Lem’s theory. Lem was a visionary same as the others and is today the most famous Polish writer of the science fiction genre. In my priv opinion, the second best after him is Jacek Dukaj and I recommend his books too. :) -- source link
