Reading R.U.R. | Alexandria
Read R.U.R. by Karel Capek. Birthing "robot" into existence, Čapek's R.U.R. ignites debates about consciousness and free will that still haunt us. The play's artificial beings don't reflect our fears of machines, but mirror our own capacity for both creation and cruelty. Its lasting insight? The real threat isn't robots replacing humans - it's humans treating others as machines.
