"This play was first performed in 1921 in Prague and has since that time been translated and performed through the world. The word robot which Josef Capek coined for the play, based on the Czech word robota, 'forced labor,' has become a part of most modern languages." Lewis, Utopian Literature, pp. 38-9. R.U.R. came at the beginning of the 1920s, Capek's most productive decade for writing fantastic literature, and it was to be followed in short order by The Makropoulos Secret, The Absolute at Large, War with the Newts and Krakatit (the appearance of these works in English translations was spread over a longer period of time).
