Description

The robots are taking over

The R.U.R. Factory, far from humanity
on its own island, has produced the perfect product: Robots Devoid
of pain, love, and all human emotion, never tiring, never bored,
unfazed by death they are the ideal worker for modern-day society

All of this is about to change, and
only Helena can see it. She is condemned to remain alone in her
dread, as all of society embraces the robots and the automatons'
presence increases. However, there has been a glitch in the
programming. All of our assumptions may have been wrong. The robots
may indeed feel pain. They may harbor passions and hatred, and the
Robot Revolution may be near

As retold and drawn by the young,
award-winning Czech graphic novelist, Katerina Cupov , this seminal
dystopian work by Karel Čapek (which gave us the word "robot")
makes the reader question the notions of work and progress and
humanity itself. Through Cupov 's deft hand, R.U.R. Is a sight to
behold.
