Gert Heidenreich reads Stanislaw Lem

Reading from “The Star Diaries” and panel discussion

With his “Star Diaries”, Polish author and philosopher Stanislaw Lem has created a collection of stories that seem to be science fiction but raise fundamental questions of human existence. With ironic distance and absurd metaphors, the fictional travel reports address sociological, psychological and ethical questions that also arise in connection with research into artificial intelligence or learning machines. Author, journalist and audio book speaker Gert Heidenreich reads from “The Star Diaries” at the Open Innovation Campus in Tübingen’s Westspitze.
