Description
“The Futurological Congress” is a discussion of the very latest achievements of humankind—futuristic forecasts and proposals for new inventions presented for everyone to see. At such a congress, the honor of being present fell to the famous Ijon Tichy together with Professor Tarantoga.
In Lem’s novel, the topic of virtual reality is raised early on. Everything that people see on wide boulevards and in expensive apartments, they eat in luxurious restaurants, expensive cars they drive— their entire life and work due to chemical preparations constantly sprayed into the air—does not actually exist; reality is entirely different—much worse by many times. Those who want to know the truth are shown only a small worsening of the situation—that is, another virtual reality—otherwise their psyche may not withstand it.
