Summary/Abstract: The book „Jutro”. SF jako sposób myślenia [“Tomorrow”. SF as a Way of Thinking] is devoted to science fiction treated primarily in terms of a way of thinking characterised by multilingualism (the free use of both the language of the humanities and the language of the sciences). Understood in this way, science fiction proves useful for immunizing us, living in the 21st century, against alternating progressions and crises and against future shocks. Besides, SF constitutes a critique of technology and often diagnoses present signs of upcoming phenomena and processes (e.g. post-literacy, virtual reality, AI) and even designs some solutions (as anarcho-transhumanists or techgnostics do).
