In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Datalore” (1988), the android Data proves to have an evil twin, Lore, who tries to bring humanity under his power. Data, on the other hand, is represented as an intelligent, candid, idealized man, acting only altruistically, always striving to improve his humanity. At the end of the episode, someone asks the significant question: do Lore’s manipulation skills and lust for power make him more human than Data, or less so?
