R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek

5.0

A timeless tale on the dangers of unchallenged and unmonitored technological progress.
The introduction by Klima is beautifully written and the play itself is filled with timeless themes.
What makes us human?
Is work Important or necessary in a human life?
Will dependence on machines brings peace or chaos?
What is a soul? Does it exist in everything?
Does money have any value when human life is on the line?
Can love be manifested in non-human entities?
What constitutes an expression of love?
An easy, entertaining and thought provoking play.
