[2] The editor writes: "The stories follow one another in an order that moves from those depicting the most deformed reality, in caricatures of conventions and myths, to SF texts with a more realistic touch, and finally – almost photography, that is, non-fictional attempts to describe Poland +50 in the most serious way possible".
[3] Jacek Dukaj writes: "I tried to provide as broad an overview as possible of visions of future Poland, and if certain parts of the spectrum remain unfilled, that too provides information about the direction of our fears and hopes",[3] adding, "I expected grim visions of the denationalization of Poland and cultural annexations [...] but the prevailing tone is one of reluctant acceptance of the inevitable: globalization in every sense of the word is unavoidable [...] the time for alarmist dystopias is over".
[4] Agnieszka Dębska expressed the opinion that many texts in the anthology reflect "the awareness of the reduction of the legacy of the past", and that the cultural shape of the future worlds described "resembles a patchwork of elements from various traditions and cults".
[5] The reviewer from Czas Fantastyki [pl] noted that the stories present "the culture of the information age [...] in which the visual aspect plays the main role in communication", but this "dominance of the image, while perhaps broadening the perspective, simultaneously robs it of depth".
[5] Dębska points out that the texts contain many literary references, such as characters with surnames like Rzecki (The Doll), Stefan Szczuka and Maciej Chełmicki (Ashes and Diamonds), Boryna (The Peasants), or Leśmian, yet this "name-dropping [...] remains a hollow game – it has no consequences for the stories being told".
Romuald Karyś noted that he was discussing the book only because it contained texts by well-known and respected scientists and leading publicists, and he focused solely on these essays (by Staniszkis, Bauman, Wnuk-Lipiński, Lem).
[7] Jan Rudziński harshly criticized the anthology in the bulletin of the Gdańsk Fantasy Club [pl], writing that "most of the texts are clichés, stereotypes, and banalities, immersed in today's day, without a broader breath".
