Read the passage from "how the world was saved," in which klapaucius requests the machine create “nature.”
the machine whined, and in a trice trurl’s front yard was packed with naturalists. they argued, each publishing heavy volumes, which the others tore to pieces; in the distance one could see flaming pyres, on which martyrs to nature were sizzling; there was thunder, and strange mushroom-shaped columns of smoke rose up; everyone talked at once, no one listened, and there were all sorts of memoranda, appeals, subpoenas and other documents, while off to the side sat a few old men, feverishly scribbling on scraps of paper.
“not bad, eh? ” said trurl with pride. “nature to a t, admit it! ”
but klapaucius wasn’t satisfied.
