Short description

They copied Lewis Bregman's brain slice by microscopic slice, capturing every cell and every electrical connection that made up his consciousness. Then they reassembled it in an android's head, creating a perfect emulation. This new version of Lewis has now been activated. But has it really come to life? Does it have the vital spark of a conscious mind? Only the android knows the answer.

Extended description

They copied Lewis Bregman's brain slice by microscopic slice, capturing every cell and every electrical connection that made up his consciousness. Then they reassembled it in an android's head, creating a perfect emulation.

But how should they view that hybrid head now sitting on the lab bench? Is it just machine, or is it a vassal of nature's kingdom?

Dr Hallam finds himself going around in circles trying to determine if the android really has the spark of life. It's nearly impossible to verify. But then, after months of going nowhere, the new version of Lewis provides him with a disturbing insight.
