The robots are taking over!The R.U.R. Factory, far from humanityon its own island, has produced the perfect product: Robots! Devoidof 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, andonly Helena can see it. She is condemned to remain alone in herdread, as all of society embraces the robots and the automatons'presence increases. However, there has been a glitch in theprogramming. All of our assumptions may have been wrong. The robotsmay indeed feel pain. They may harbor passions and hatred, and theRobot Revolution may be near! As retold and drawn by the young, award-winning Czech graphic novelist, Katerina Cupová, this seminaldystopian work by Karel Čapek (which gave us the word "robot")makes the reader question the notions of work and progress andhumanity itself. Through Cupová's deft hand, R.U.R. Is a sight tobehold.
