According to Stanislaw Lem's Snaut, the Little Apocrypha is “An antique which seems to have some relevance to our situation.” Snaut faced a sentient ocean. Our challenge is navigating technology that evolves far faster than we do. The stories contained in this volume explore what life might be like in a future among the stars – or even here on Earth – for humans little removed from those that first domesticated dogs on the mammoth steppe. "If you think about it, cultures and technologies continually evolve. Human life, on the other hand, largely remains the same. Travel to the stars hasn’t changed how we put on our trousers. We eat more synthetic foods, but the jaw still grinds down both protein and fiber. As for hygiene, we may have to recycle the bath water on an ice moon, but that doesn’t keep us from bathing. Then there are politics and religion. We still argue over both, even when most of us can’t tell which is which."
