Ajourney through the literatures of Europe. 10: Greece. Julian Evans arrives in Athens, a city built - physically and culturally- in the shadow of the Acropolis. The land of Homer has a great narrative tradition but the novel, a relative newcomerto Greece, has struggled to get a foothold in the country's literary consciousness. After centuries teetering on the boundary of East and West, how has the novel developed in the cradle of western civilisation? Julian asks modern
Greek novelists and meets some old friends in the form of Byron and Cervantes.

By Jeffrey Robinson. In 1921 Czech playright Karel Capek wrote R.U.R.,
Rossums's Universal Robots, a satirical allegory based on the nature of power and what it means to be human. (Capek coined the word robot from the Czech word robota
-worker-to mean an artificial human.) Jeffrey Robinson uses R.U.R. as the inspiration for a science fantasy in which the role of the robots is taken by the whole of the internet. In Rossum's Cyber-Cafe, cyberspace has insinuated itself into every aspect of our lives and we are unable, either to control it or to function without it.
