The Questor Tapes

Questor is an android robot designed to be indistinguishable on the surface from a normal human being. this android is more than just an ‘ambulatory computer’ but actually has the power to reason, to learn rapidly, and to wrestle with the puzzle ‘am i alive?’ Questor was placed here by a far-off benevolent race which programmed it with the duty to pose as a human while secretly engaging in tasks necessary to mankind’s survival during this most critical period in human history.
