The Things I've Missed, A Growing List

Thanks to @rebeccawatson for this little bit of history on the origin of the word “robot”.

R.U.R. is a 1920 science fiction play in the Czech language by Karel Čapek. R.U.R. stands for Rossum’s Universal Robots, an English phrase used as the subtitle in the Czech original. It premiered in 1921 and introduced the word “robot” to the English language and to science fiction as a whole.
