| Description | September this year marks the 100th birth anniversary of one of Poland´s most famous and most translated authors – Stanisław Lem (1921–2006). This jubilee is a great opportunity for us to think briefly about all the eclectic and miscellaneous form of this work. First, we will try to make a brief, general description of Lem’s work, so that we can then focus on one of his interesting theoretical texts. In this essay, Lem responded by expressing a peculiar evolutionary hypothesis to the pandemic situation that mankind has been confronted with since the 1980s – HIV infection. |
