Rossum's Universal Robots
Rossumovi UniverzĂĄlnĂ Roboti â also known as R.U.R. (pronounced er oo er (like in error)) is a Czech play by Karel Äapek which details the events leading up to the robot uprising, which resulted in the extinction of humanity.
Itâs the origin of the word ârobotâ and has the honor of being one of the first depictions of a robot uprising in fiction.
Thatâs all Iâll say for now. I read a comic-book adaptation of it and have known the plot for a while now. Itâs very similar to another story by Äapek called The War of the Newts which, yes, is a thing. The latter is supposedly more comedic, but theyâre basically exactly the same bar the fact the Newts go extinct and humanity survives in Waterworld.
