Worlds known from literature or science fiction films have accustomed us to terrifying contacts with the Other; be it through invasions of extraterrestrial civilizations or with soulless artificial intelligence. In his novels, Stanisław Lem often wonders what a real confrontation with an alien life form might look like and whether we would be able to hear it at all. In Golem XIV, the Other – a supercomputer – has the answer to probably every question plaguing humanity. The communication barrier seems not to exist; Golem has no biological body or senses, it is a perfect machine, pure Reason. However, a superintelligent computer must reach humans with its inhuman words.
