    I feel like whoever translated Lem’s sillier works definitely deserves a massive hand because oh my god there is so much wordplay like this and it all carries over to english really well. Like all the drug names and made up words and Tarantoga’s entire three page long ramble about ‘futuology’/predictive etymology which I guess had to be entirely rewritten in order to work in English in The Futurlogical Congress

      Yeah 100% agreed. It’s crazy to me that it’s a translation and not the original author’s construction.
