    Agnieszka Gajewska was first to uncover many unknown documents concerning Lem's life during World War II, which has long been a mystery. Lem simply refused to speak about these times. Gajewska demonstrates that events of these times were encoded in various hints in Lem's fiction. [2][3]

  • 2013: Peter Swirski, From Literature to Biterature: Lem, Turing, Darwin, and Explorations in Computer Literature, Philosophy of Mind, and Cultural Evolution
    " I’m trying to explore the ultimate future of literature by exploring the nature of beings who will create it. If my scenario is correct, “biterature,” as written by computer authors or “computhors,” will be a manifestation of the beginning of the end of the cultural world as we know it. In that sense, From Literature to Biterature is really a book about our human future in the age of thinking machines."[4]
