He is known for the complexity of his books, and it is often said that a single short story of Dukaj contains more ideas than many other writers put into their books in their lifetime. Popular themes in his works include the technological singularity, nanotechnology and virtual reality, and because of this his books often can be classified as hard science fiction.

“Na przykład.
Obudziłem się. Chcę wstać.
Chcę wstać. Co to znaczy. Jest taki czas, że chcę wstać, a nie wstaję. Bo skoro wstaję, to nie "chcę"; ot, wstaję. Wstałem.
A tu nie.
Chcę.
Co to za granica? Co takiego oddziela "chcę" od "robię"?
Co za dziwny bufor intencji?
Nie ciało.
Nie niemoc fizyczna.
Nie niedowład woli. (Bo CHCĘ!)
Dlaczego zatem chcę, a nie wstaję?
(Chcę, a nie pracuję. Chcę, a nie idę. Chcę, a nie jem. Chcę, a nie mówię. Na przykład.)
Nawet jeśli tylko przez chwilę, przez sekundę, ułamek.
Jak nazwać ów ośrodek, który stawia mi opór?
Dla pływaka jest to woda. Dla dżdżownicy - ziemia. Dla jonu - pole elektromagnetyczne.
A dla woli - co?
Coś. Przeciwchcenie.
Nolensum.”
