| Publisher Description: R.U.R' is the play that introduced the word 'robot' to the modern world, and many of the themes and questions raised by this production would go on to become staples of science fiction for the next century. Set in a factory that creates Roboti to sell to the world as servants, all seems well at first but these new creations can think, feel and act as freely as humans, this soon creates problems that will be all to familiar to any comic reader or film fan. A true classic of the sci-fi genre. We are republishing this work with a brand new short introductory biography of the author. |
