R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is a delightful science fiction play written in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Čapek. The play, which introduced the concept of robots to the world, is set in a dystopian future where machines serve humanity. But what else might they do? "R.U.R." remains a thought-provoking exploration of automation, unfree labor, the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence. The play is also a treatise on political and social others, hierarchy, and the dangers of authoritarianism.
