"Runny nose is a seemingly classic detective novel, in which the reader and the main character - an American cosmonaut in early retirement - try to solve a series of mysterious deaths. But how can a mystery be unraveled when natural laws such as chaos theory or probability are added to the pool of suspects? Perhaps every person's life depends on total chance and there is nothing to interfere with the future.
The novel masterfully combines elements of fast-paced action with a reflection on the threats of civilization and the seeds of the store concept of "globalization" which Lem was ahead of his time. The world that Lem sees and describes is the result of a game of chance and the sum of the calculus of probability. "Literary edition
