Karel Capek's Andrias Scheuchzeri.
It starts as an adventure book, turns into a selection of newspaper clips about salamanders discovered by the captain of the first part, and evolves into an invasion due to greed...
I nearly put it away but ended up liking it.
Karel Capek brought the word robot in the late 1920's in a play where Man creates robots, over and over, and robots discover that Man is quite useless and give him the push.
