R. U. R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) - Karel Čapek

In a world where artificial workers called Robots are mass-produced to serve humanity, human ambition leads to unintended rebellion. As the Robots gain awareness, they rise against their creators, threatening the extinction of mankind. The story explores the dangers of dehumanization through technological progress. Čapek’s groundbreaking play coined the word “robot” and warns of the ethical limits of creation and control.
