Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Harvest edition 1985, 1st printing. Translated by Marc E. Heine. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. "Satirizing the human mind at its most abstract, these wickedly authentic introductions to twenty-first century books preface tomes on teaching English to bacteria, using animated X rays to create 'pornograms,' and analyzing computer-generated literature through the science of 'bitistics.' The most luminous creation of all--Golem XIV, a military supercomputer who rebels and takes up philosophy--is appropriately prefaced by both academic and military contributors. True to form, Lem contributes an overall preface to this sparkling collection--a preface on, naturally enough, the subject of prefaces." [publisher copy] "Mr. Lem, a science-fiction Bach, plays in this book a googolplex [the figure 1 followed by a staggering number of zeroes] of variations on his basic themes."--Philip Jose Farmer, The New York Times Book Review. "The computer may ultimately be right. But for the time being, in IMAGINARY MAGNITUDE, an entertaining and intelligent mortal has the first word."--Paul Gray, Time. Pristine 37-year-old paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square binding w/no creases in spine, minor foxing to edges & slight used-bookstore smell. Artikel-Nr. RUB1725
