He has become best known for his science fiction, including his novel Wa…r with the Newts (1936) and play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots, 1920), which introduced the word robot.

Though nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times, he never received it. Capek wrote on a wide variety of subjects including science fiction, the ethics of industrial inventions and processes, mass production, and nuclear weapons, intelligent artificial beings such as robots or androids. He wrote detective stories, novels, fairy tales and theatre plays, and even a book on gardening. He wrote play The Makropulos Affair, on which Leos Janacek's opera is based. He also wrote, in 1932, children's stories, Nine Fairy Tales: And One More Thrown in for Good Measure.
