Maybe it is a good idea to have a cross-language inquiry threads once in a while... Some things of transhumanism type seem to be represented in the so-widely-known-it-is-considered-trivial science fiction in Russian.

Also, in Russia it seems to be typical to have read a lot of Stanislaw Lem (as translated from Polish to Russian in Soviet Union times).

Unfortunately, Lem's most thought provoking book, Summa Technologiae (1964), was never (completely) translated into English.

There is only a partial translation into English: http://web.archive.org/web/20041012053805/http://wwwnlds.physik.tu-berlin.de/~prengel/Lem/contents.htm

Russian translation: http://lib.ru/LEM/summa/summtitl.htm
