We have Czech writer Karel apek to thank for the invention of the
word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of
artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play,
"R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" was first performed in 1921
and was an instant success. While the "robots" of the play could be
more accurately described as cyborgs, apek's influence on the
science fiction genre with this play would be profound. "R.U.R."
describes a future where robots have become universal and all of
humanity is now dependent on the labor that they provide.
Everything is perfect until the robot's are stirred into revolt.
"R.U.R." is apek's prophetic and dark dystopian vision of the
future which would solidify his place in literary history."
