A review by brokensandals
War with the Newts by Karel Čapek

3.0

If we discovered a new intelligent but powerless species capable of doing lots of valuable work, what would our society do? The same thing we do with animals, the environment, and each other: exploit them in cruel, hypocritical, and ultimately shortsighted ways. Čapek wraps this cynical perspective in a fairly witty package, though it feels a bit repetitive at times.
