R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We have Czech writer Karel Capek to thank for the invention of the word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play, 'R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)' was written in 1920 and was first performed in 1921. The play was an instant success and was translated into over 30 languages within two years of its first performance. The play begins in a factory that makes the 'robots', which could be more accurately described as cyborgs, since they are more living creature than machine. 'R. U. R.' envisions a future where robots have become universal and all of humanity is now dependent on the labor that they provide, which remains a timely subject even one hundred years later. At first, everything seems perfect and the robots are happy to serve humans until the robots are later stirred into revolt. Capek's vision of a dystopian future where humans may be ruled by machines was immediately and profoundly influential on the science fiction genre and to future authors. 'R. U. R.' is Capek's prophetic and dark dystopian vision of the future which would solidify his place in dramatic history and leave a lasting legacy on modern literature. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper. Artikel-Nr. 9781420963052

Paperback. Zustand: Very good. French's Standard Library Edition. 217pp. Duodecimo [19 cm] Tan wraps lettered and illustrated in dark brown. The wraps are a bit rubbed and creased, the foot of the spine is chipped (with minor loss), and the text block is just barely starting to come away from the spine at the foot. The half title has a small loss from the bottom fore-edge corner, and there is a corresponding darkened patch to the bottom fore-edge corner of the title page. The Theatre Guild version, with four illustrations from photographs of the Theatre Guild production. French's Standard Library edition of this play that popularized the word "Robot." According to the famed speculative fiction bibliographer E. F. Bleiler, "the present-day reader's interest in the play centers on Capek's creation of the robot. Taken from the Czech word 'robota', meaning "forced labor," the word "robot" was invented by Josef Capek, and it has come to have a far more precise meaning than either brother can have intended. In the play the robots are not mechanical, metallic creatures, but are instead androids - living, organic simulacra - indistinguishable at first (and second) glance from humans. Capek's robots represent, at times rather loosely and inconsistently, a complex or symbolic meanings: the threatening aspects of the industrial dehumanization of the work force, as well as the pathos that surrounds the victims of rationalization and the assembly line. Through this ambivalence, which is not always convincing in its mixture of reductive caricature and sentimental special pleading, the image of the robot represents the logical outcome, for the helpless masses, of living and working in a world where human autonomy is not only superfluous but also directly counterproductive." Bleiler p.585. A scarce Russian-language translation of Capek's seminal work. Artikel-Nr. 66494
