Trurl and Klaupacius are constructor robots who try to out–invent each other. They travel to the far corners of the cosmos to take on freelance problem–solving jobs, with dire consequences for their employers.
Asking their machine that can do anything to do nothing almost destroys the universe.
Lem creates other cybernetic triumphs — laser–eyed beasts, dragons of improbability, electronic bards, and involuted story–telling machines that never finish a tale — brilliantly funny examples of his talent for intellectual slapstick, bizarre invention, and keen insight.
