OK, next one:
although written in the mid last century, this novel describes what can happen to us if the current climate changes continue.

:woot: my first point.
I like Ballard's writing, unique in creating athmosphere.
name the author and story :
In this story the hero and narrator explains how he is accountable for the existence of the universe.
He denies accountability for the universe being such a mess, though.

The name of the author is also the name of a space device.

The author had a small planet named after him, and Theodore Sturgeon - some 30 years ago - considered him the most-read SF author worldwide.

OK, I'm pretty sure I've got the author, but I don't think I've got the story! It's Stanisław Lem, yes? I'll take a guess at Solaris as the story.

Yesnaby.
Correct author, but wrong book.
What I am looking for is one story in a collection of stories, all with the same hero in them. This hero also appears in three other books from Stanislaw Lem.
