Stanislaw Lem

El invencible/ The Invincible Stanislaw Lem

The Invincible is a brutal enigma, a wonderful adventure full of unbeatable descriptions on a planet as strange as it is dangerous. Ethical discussion or ecological excuse, the novel recounts the consequences of the abuse of technology and its consequent impact in a nearer future than we are capable of imagining. The Invincible is the name of the huge interstellar ship that leaves to meet its twin, the impressive and warrior Condor. The latter, lost on Regis III, an isolated and uninhabited planet, will cause waves of vital anguish both in those who survived and in those who come to her aid in an abrupt, devastating and violent way. Nanobots, space travel, swarm intelligence, and artificial evolution all come together in this ruthless and harrowing tale of human survival. The cosmos is in "The Invincible" at the center of human thought. The utopia of man, the search for truth and the importance of differentiating ourselves from other beings in the universe are just the tip of the iceberg of the great mysterious and cruel challenge that existence and our inability to not be able to conquer everything propose to us.
