I think a love triangle between an android, and two humans is pretty much the plot of Humans.


I do have some sympathy for the position that Alan Turing not dying might be the main reason why an alternate 1980's has androids. The AI seems to the hardest part to crack. There's not much point putting money in to reseaching how to make real looking blink patterns until you have an AI so good that it's the eyes that give away the nature of the creature.
