I've only read The Cyberiad, but you really can't talk about the evolution of Asimovian Robotics without coming across him a time or two.

Lol, Yes! Some people don't appreciate the effort it takes to translate that stuff. I took a robotics lit class at uni so we did a lot of author blow bys. I'm glad Lem made the list.

i know, right? Polish looks dangerous. . .

robotics lit?? that sounds amazing.
i shall have to see if any of the schools near me are offering something similar.

Very. I stuck the Latin/German/Old English route for languages. Mostly romanised alphabets help a lot. Still its no real excuse for the small margin of East European/Non-Russian lit.

Good luck finding a class. My teacher only got away with it because he had a two year contract and they knew he was leaving anyway.
