Publisher's Summary
A brilliantly crafted collection of stories from celebrated science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem.
Trurl and Klaupacius are constructor robots who try to out-invent each other. Over the course of their adventures in The Cyberiad, they travel to the far corners of the cosmos to take on freelance problem-solving jobs, with dire consequences for their unsuspecting employers.
Playfully written, and ranging from the prophetic to the surreal, these stories demonstrate Stanislaw Lem's vast talent and remarkable ability to blend meaning and magic into a wholly entertaining and captivating work.

"Robotic Fun"
Stanislaw Lem wrote many serious novels and essays, with deep literary impact about communication, aliens and idealized societies.
The Cyberiad isn't one of those.
A collection of mostly humorous (if more than slightly geeky) tales about the famous "constructors" Trurl and Klapaucius living in a robotic/cybernetic world. Despite the technological society, the setting is somewhat Medieval...kings, knights, pirates, the occasional dragon, even a few (robotic) princesses. In this context, Trurl and Klapaucius are knights-errant, using their skills to solve problems, meet challenges and occasionally mess things up royally.
It's a fun set of stories, keying on the friendship-cum-rivalry of the two constructors.
Scott Aiello's narration was very good.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -
"not what i expected"
What would have made The Cyberiad better?a completely different story
What was most disappointing about Stanislaw Lem’s story?hmm. why does this suck? too many reasons
Would you listen to another book narrated by Scott Aiello?He was ok.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Cyberiad?everything except "the" and "."
Any additional comments?I did not finish it.
