R.U.R.

Rossum's Universal Robots

Karel Čapek

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[2][3][5].

QualityLand

Marc-Uwe Kling

In 'QualityLand', Marc-Uwe Kling presents a satirical vision of a future where technology and algorithms govern every aspect of life. The story is set in QualityLand, a society where a universal ranking system determines social advantages, career opportunities, and even romantic partners. Peter Jobless, a machine scrapper, feels out of place in this highly automated world and becomes the leader of a group of robotic misfits. When Peter receives an unwanted product from TheShop, the dominant company in QualityLand, he decides to return it, which challenges the infallible algorithms and the very foundations of the society. The book is a sharp critique of consumer culture, technology, and the impact of algorithms on human relationships and identity, balanced with humor and absurd scenarios[2][4][5].

The Iliad

Homer

The Iliad is an epic poem attributed to Homer, set during the Trojan War. It begins in the ninth year of the war, where a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles sets off a chain of events.

The story is interspersed with divine interventions from Greek gods and goddesses, influencing the outcome of the war. The poem culminates with Achilles' reconciliation with Agamemnon and his subsequent rage against the Trojans, leading to the death of Hector and the eventual funeral rites for Patroclus and Hector[1][3][5].
