RUR GN (11 Dec Release)

Long before there was Terminator and Skynet¸ there was R.U.R.¸ the Czech classic that gave us the word 'robot.' The R.U.R. Factory¸ far from humanity on its own island¸ has produced the perfect product: Robots! Devoid of pain¸ love¸ and all human emotion¸ never tiring¸ never bored¸ unfazed by death they are the ideal worker for modern-day society! All of this is about to change¸ and only Helena can see it. She is condemned to remain alone in her dread¸ as all of society embraces the robots and the automatons' presence increases. However¸ there has been a glitch in the programming. All of our assumptions may have been wrong. The robots may indeed feel pain. They may harbor passions and hatred¸ and the Robot Revolution may be near! As retold and drawn by the young¸ award-winning Czech graphic novelist¸ Katerina CupovḠthis seminal dystopian work by Karel Capek makes the reader question the notions of work and progress and humanity itself.
