I always thought or were told that this book is "for kids" or younger generations in general. Well, it's completely not true. Not that it's unsuitable for younger people, but rather that it actually touches some really deep and complex topics. The penultimate tale about a trial was especially great. And so contemporary, even though it was written in the 1960s and is about artificial intelligence. It's absolutely stunning. I'm even happier that it is going to be adapted for a movie soon, bringing it to a wider audience. This book definitely exceeded my expectations. One of more interesting pieces from Lem for me.

Good old witcher? Eventually yes, however, here we get to know Geralt when he was young, not being really the same person as the one we know from the previous books. The way he is portrayed at the beginning is actually rather funny and I'm not sure whether I really like it, but it's not bad after all. I am not sure if this is an old sentiment, or a more objective impression, but Sapkowski's style is really amazing to read. Flies like a butterfly. And all characters have this something. They are not just dry NPC fillers. I would like this book to be longer and give us a more continuous story, but that is just a minor issue. It was so nice to come back to these stories, even if it might have been a little 'money heist' by the author ;)
