Description

A phenomenal Czech science fiction play that introduced robots to modern literature. R.U.R. - Rossum's Universal Robots explores the ethical implications behind humanity's enslavement of a man-made race. Opening in the Roboti factory, this play poses moral and ethical questions as we watch humans create a new life form. R.U.R. are intelligent robots built with the ability to think, feel, and act as freely as humans, but they are being sold as servants. As the robots tire of their ill-treatment and begin to revolt, could humanity have created its own death sentence? First published in 1920, Karel Čapek's short science fiction play was translated into English by David Wyllie. An influential classic of the genre, this volume is not to be missed by fans of sci-fi.
