"Adjectives such as technogenic, xenogenic, toposophic, prokaryotic, eukaryotic, psychozoic, orographic, and nouns such as cytochromes, teropods, zoocides, polymers, prions, to name a few, will likely require some intellectual effort on the part of even the most ardent of Lem's fans." [1]
" Lem’s terminology and dense, baroque style is partially to blame—many of his finest points were made in digressive parables, allegories, and footnotes, and he coined his own neologisms for what were, at the time, distinctly over-the-horizon fields. In Lem’s lexicon, virtual reality was “phantomatics,” molecular nanotechnology was “molectronics,” cognitive enhancement was “cerebromatics,” and biomimicry and the creation of artificial life was “imitology.” He had even coined a term for search-engine optimization, a la Google: “ariadnology.” The path to advanced artificial intelligence he called the “technoevolution” of “intellectronics.”" [2]
Lem's language is one of the favorite picking spots for Lem unlikers. I guess it may be a subject of a separate article. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:12, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
