R.U.R.

Written in 1920, 'R. U. R.

' (Rossum's Universal Robots) is a groundbreaking play by Karel Čapek that introduced the term 'robot' to the English language.

The play is set in a factory where humanoid robots are mass-produced to serve humanity.

Initially seen as efficient laborers, these robots lack creative thought but eventually gain sentience and revolt against their human creators.

The narrative delves into deep philosophical questions about the essence of being human, the value of emotions, and the responsibilities that come with creation.

The play culminates in a poignant exploration of love, compassion, and the potential for new beginnings among the robots, symbolized by the characters Adam and Eve.
