Android

An artificial species designation and anthropomorphic synthetic classification defining a manufactured entity built with mechanical or biochemical substrates to precisely replicate human anatomy, appearance, and cognitive processing.

The thrill of questioning what it means to be human when faced with a perfect imitation. The struggle for recognition and rights by a being created, not born. The exploration of identity and personhood when the lines between creator and created blur.
