 ===== Description & Notes =====
 ==== Origin ====
-The play [[playground:RUR|R.U.R.]] was the source of the word ‘robot’ and it's also a very unusual depiction of robots/androids by modern standards (fully biological). But we'll get into that later. R.U.R. could be seen as the place where modern androids actually began as a trope. The other major influence would be I, Robot, the book by Isaac Asimov.\\

 Asimov made them fully mechanical; created the Three Laws of Robotics (which are bad); and established how robots are supposed to act.
 ==== General Depiction ====
@@ Line 20: / Line 20: @@
 The clones in Star Wars are probably the most android-like depiction. At least as far as I know.
+==== Golem ====
+[[lb:Golem]] is a folkloric creature possibly from Jewish folklore, though I've only heard about the Prague golem...and he's basically a pre-modern android.
 ===== Media Depictions =====
 ==== A.I. ====
 The androids depicted here are 100% mechanical and, as far as I can tell, even the bits that look organic are...not.
 ==== A.I.C.O. Incarnation ====
-This one is another ambiguous example, as it could be argued that <wrap spoiler>the protagonist is an android</wrap>. Though it's probably better thought of as an artificially-grown human rather than an android.

 ==== Alien ====
 The androids in Alien are likely not self-aware and they're almost entirely mechanical. They also ‘bleed’ white blood.

 They have the capacity to become self-aware, as Sunny is definitely conscious.
 ==== R.U.R. ====
-[[playground:RUR]] is the origin of the term ‘Robot’ which is originally Czech. Though this play also depicts androids.

 Depicts 100% biological androids, which is what makes it so unusual by modern standards. This is also the source of the Robot Uprising trope.
