If you've read Last and First Men, Lem wrote an review/essay of it: http://dpuadweb.depauw.edu/icronay_web/lem%20stapledon.html (I've read the essay but not the work itself. It's quite thought-provoking itself, like most of Lem's writing.)

Thanks, that was a thought-provoking essay on its own merits. The book itself is worth reading for the relentless pace of socio-techno-cultural change, best experienced as a dramatic deluge rather than exceprts.
