Ha, my father, whose hobby was collecting antique typewriters, was crazy about Stanislaw Lem!

Is there any connection between Lem and typewriters? I haven't really read him. I tried a bit as a kid... may have to try again someday. (I still have my father's books.)

Nothing obvious! Except they were contemporaneous. (I’m a bit too young to love Lem the way I do.)

Typewriters were/are contemporaneous with a lot of authors!!!
Didn't Lem write quite a bit about technology?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Yeah, although I don’t think typewriters were particularly present there.pic.twitter.com/NSJ0mK9TEa

Not present in the technology he wrote about, you mean? Wow, I see he only died in 2006. For some reason I thought he was from a slightly earlier era. Well, that's cool that you met him.

Yes, correct! I don’t remember him writing about typewriters. Most of his best-known output is 1960s/1970s, I believe.

Thanks! I'm guessing I'm not the first person to make that mistake :-)
