Counterpart

When an intelligent robot uprising leads to a suspended treaty between humanity and computers, everyone must wait twenty years for the right person to be chosen. This person will be scanned and copied. A mechanical counterpart will be created, one who shares the same physical qualities as well as mental. The two are exactly the same except for emotions. One has them; the other doesn't.

The treaty said that after twenty years, one person would be chosen to be copied, then the human and machine would fight until one was defeated. If the human won, this would prove to the robots that humans were superior.

This is what I have to win for all of humanity. If I don't, all that humanity is--love, fear, anger, passion, hope--will be obliterated and replaced by machines.
