Stanislaw Lem: Who is the novelist celebrated in today's Google Doodle? →
One of Google’s most elaborate Google Doodles today celebrates the life and work of Stanislaw Lem, a Polish science fiction author.
Today’s Google Doodle marks the 60th anniversary of Polish science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem’s first work, Astronauci(‘The Astronauts’), about the Earth being attacked by Venusians, published in 1951.
The Astronauts is about humankind’s inadequacy at communicating with other species and is littered with references to the ideals of communism, which Lem had to insert in order for the book to be published under the communist regime in Poland.
Speaking later about the book he said “The hope that in the year 2000 the world would be wonderful is indeed very childish”.
The Google Doodle depicts a cartoon version of Lem strolling across a lunar landscape, encountering a game that the user can play.
The game is comprised of three puzzles followed by an animation sequence where cartoon Lem and a robot cat talk to the head of creature composed of pieces retrieved from the games. Lem is rewarded with a bowl of noodles and then the creature explodes the screen, revealing a Google search screen.
The art was inspired by the Polish illustrator Daniel Mróz, who drew the artwork for The Cyberiad, a series of short stories by the Lem.
