| 2 | ** The miniature kingdom in a box from "The Seventh Sally or How Trurl's Own Perfection Led to No Good" inspired the wildly influential SimulationGame ''Micropolis'' - better known as ''VideoGame/SimCity''. |
| 3 | ** In the story Trurl pitied an exiled tyrant and gave him a toy kingdom to rule, punish and show mercy to. Then Klapaucius pointed out that an imitation, whose [[VideogameCrueltyPotential suffering]] is indistinguishable from that of a person, should be treated as a person, and Trurl just left a whole country at the tyrant's mercy. They returned to try and fix Trurl's mistake, but found the ruler [[TheDogBitesBack overthrown and exiled to orbit]]. While VideogameCrueltyPotential steadily develops, VideogameCrueltyPunishment still lags behind. |
