Today is 20 years since I emigrated to USA.
Today is 20 years since I emigrated to USA. When I landed in JFK in 1992, my first impression was quite similar to the description of the port in the very beginning of Stanisław Lem's "Return from the stars" (1961).

The very first day, I asked my friend (ANM), who was in US since Dec 1991, what America is like. He said it's just like what was described in science fiction. He was absolutely right, but only as a partial description (blind-men-and-an-elephant thing), like:

- Stanisław Lem (1921-2006) "Return from the stars" (1961)
- Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) "Profession" (1957)
- Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) "Fahrenheit 451" (1953)
- etc
