Synthesis of Drama, Novel, and Film

For this essay, I’ll ask that you, in an approximately 2000 word essay, explain how three works of science fiction (a novel, a play, and a film) all contribute to your understanding of how our society will confront and adapt to technology and the future.

In Rossum’s Universal Robots (R.U.R.)(1920) we observe the creation of a race of robots;
In Ex Machina (2015) we see the scientific discovery of Artificial Intelligence and robotics taken to the extreme.
