Lem has always been critical of most science fiction, which he considers ill thought out, poorly written, and interested more in adventure that ideas or new literary forms.

Of course, I'm also not sure why I would trust the random opinion of someone whose name I've never even heard. Or why any genre of writing must be concerned with "new literary forms". I would argue that sci-fi, in general, does push new ideas.
