A series of stories united by a fantastic pseudo-medieval universe where robots take the place of people, and with common heroes—great inventors Trurl and Klapaucius.
The early stories of “Cyberiad” are very similar to “Tales of the Robots,” but they have recurring main characters—cyber-constructors and demiurges Trurl and Klapaucius (though from childhood, Klapaucius is more familiar). Nothing is easier for them than to light or extinguish a couple of stars to carry out their brilliant ideas. And as often happens, at first the author seems to have simply been having fun and fooling around. However, the further you go, the harsher the Polish partisans become. Not by chance Lem himself classified “Cyberiad” as philosophical parables. And critics note the “two-layeredness” of the stories comprising “Cyberiad.”
