Summary: "One for the Robot—Two for the Same" by Rog Phillips is a science fiction novella that likely dates back to the mid-20th century, specifically the early 1950s. The narrative centers around themes of identity, consciousness, and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, delving into the consequences of creating robots that could house human minds. It explores these themes through the lens of the protagonist, January Stevens, and his tumultuous interactions with the enigmatic Dr. Leopold Moriss. The story follows January Stevens, an alcoholic whose life spiraled out of control after he failed to account for research funds related to his groundbreaking experiments in robotics and consciousness transfer. After a chance encounter with Dr. Moriss, who has been pursuing him to uncover the secret of his research, January finds himself embroiled in a psychological battle against the doctor. As Moriss pushes him to confront his past and the fear that drove him to destroy his work, January plots his revenge by sabotaging the doctor’s plan to transfer his consciousness into an immortal robot body. As the situation escalates, January must grapple with his own hatred and the complex dynamics of his relationship with the doctor's daughter, Paula, ultimately leading to a gripping climax that explores the nature of humanity and the implications of immortality.
