In this episode, we explore the topic of futurology. In his writings, Lem was known for his predictions on how the relationship between man and technology might develop. In many of his books - some of which were written in the 1950s and 60s - Lem correctly predicted the evolution of man-made technology - including Virtual Reality, e-books, and the internet. Many of his writings were cautionary tales and commentary on man and machine. Some of this was discussed in episode 3 - on the philosophy of Stanislaw Lem. But here, we focus purely on the topic of futurology - and Lem’s input into the field of futurology; and Lem himself as a futurist.

To help us navigate this topic, we are joined by Aleksandra Przegalinska - an associate professor of management and artificial intelligence as well as a vice-rector at Kozminski University. She is also considered a modern day Polish futurist.
