Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age (Cyberiada in the original Polish) is a series of short stories by Stanisław Lem, usually following the adventures of the "Constructors" Trurl and Klapaucius. As Constructors, they have the skills and ability to build almost anything imaginable. This doesn't stop them from getting into trouble when they try to sell their abilities, however.In the late '80s, the story The Seventh Sally, or How Trurl's Own Perfection Led to No Good was adapted for public television as The Perfect Imitation, with the principals changed from Ridiculously Human Robots to Human Aliens (but nonetheless quite well-cast.)Not to be confused with the Cyberman Hive Mind, or the Andrei Konchalovsky film Siberiade.

Framing Device: A few short stories bring together stories published earlier. Tale of the Three Storytelling Machines of King Genius, which goes metafictional several times.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Upbringing of Cyfranek, where Trurl and his son Cyfranek find a robot and an Artificial Human frozen in a comet, thaw them and listen to their stories.

Fantastic Aesop: Often as Spoof Aesop. How the World Was Saved: "Do nothing" isn't "create nothingness". Make sure your Literal Genie has "Undo" button. Trurl's Machine: Computers are stubborn. A Good Shellacking: Professional jealousy is ugly.

Feudal Future: Almost everyone is a robot, the constructors can build pretty much everything, space travel is easy. Most planets/countries are medieval-style kingdoms.
