Uncanny Valley

What does it mean to be human? Sometime in the not-too-distant future, a neuroscientist works closely with an artificial being to teach him how to become more human and to grow beyond the “uncanny valley” — a term used to describe the discomfort we feel when we see electronic re-creations of human beings that are oh-so-close, but just not quite right. A chilling jaunt into the future.
