I found it that some of his/her science fictions have been translated into our language (japanese) by our Russian teacher when I was in the university. -- i learned Russian as a second foreign language. Stanislaw Lem was actually Polish. And has anyone mentioned he coined the word robot (it's Polish for worker).

An excellent book. I remember specially the story where a psychiatric for robots is described, with a hypochondriac robot carrying a cart with spares. Great! Thank you for the info. To tell the truth, now I am thinking of our brains. (I am calling myself as brain-net explorer .. :-) Can robot (computer) have its EMOTIONs? etc... # The answer would be NO. So, I felt that description (robot.txt) very poetic and meaningful. 1. Current Computer is able to replace our left-side cerebral cortex (Brain for calculation -- 1+1 = 2 styled calc) 2. Quantum Computer will be able to relace our right-side cerebral cortex (Brain for innovation/imagination -- 2 = 1+1 styled calc) Cerebral cortex is the part of our brain, which makes us human beings. (Other animals can not count (calculate) because they do not need such abilities in order to Conserve Species. Identification/Organization and communication abilities would be enough for them to do it) On the other hand, limbic system (left-side and right-side) is animals' brain) ... I do not know / I can not imagine what will be able to replace our limbic system. So, How robot can recognize itself as robot is really interesting issue for me. -- meaningful Regards, -- Tetsuya.
