New Query

Information
has glosseng: The Chain of Chance (orig. Polish Katar) is a novel by Stanisław Lem, published in 1975. The novel is clearly grounded in the detective fiction genre, but Lem's treatment introduces many nontraditional elements. The reader is prompted not only to consider various suspects as possible culprits in a series of murders, but also the possibility that they have all happened purely by chance (hence the English title). In this way, the natural laws of probability and chaos theory play the role of suspects and characters in a murder mystery, lending elements of science fiction to the novel, despite its being set in the present.
