"Moxon's Master" is a short story by American writer Ambrose Bierce, which speculates on the nature of life
and intelligence. It describes a chess-playing automaton that murders its creator. First published in The
San Francisco Examiner on April 16, 1899, it is one
of the first descriptions of a robot in English-language literature, though written well before the word
'robot' came to be used.
