A young man tries to amuse his friends by having a conversation with a crude robot seated alone in a bar. The conversation quickly becomes personal as he discovers her primary function: to represent humanity based on a generalization created from all social media and wireless communications. To verify her calculations she needs to participate in an impromptu conversation with a human, after which she will be launched into space as the immortal spokesperson of humanity. The young man realizes that he is being put on trial for the superficiality of his times. To prove to her that she is wrong, he must first convince himself.
