Own the groundbreaking play that introduced the word "Robot" to the world and forever changed science fiction.

Step into the visionary mind of Czech playwright Karel Čapek with this seminal work of twentieth-century literature. "R.U.R." is not merely a play; it is a chillingly prescient prophecy that grapples with the profound questions of humanity, technology, and freedom that are more relevant today than ever before.

On a remote island, the factory of Rossum’s Universal Robots perfects the manufacture of artificial people. Created to serve humanity, these "Robots" are the most efficient labor force imaginable, driving unprecedented economic growth and ushering in a new age of leisure for their human masters. But what happens when the servants become sentient? When they begin to question their purpose and demand their own rights? The answer unfolds in a tense and thrilling drama that explores the dire consequences of playing god and the indomitable will to be free.
