Earth's Android Double? Floyd Merrell

The Earth came into existence. Centuries later, a supremely competent Android appeared. Her gods created her, then she re-created herself, created her own world, and liberally populated it with Androids. But she knows not how to administer her marvelous design. For they who created her did not properly instruct her. Nevertheless, she does her best. Obsessed over the idea of improvising in line with her style of reasoning, and when it fails, availing herself of scientific knowing. Human immigrants begin pouring into her world. Rendering her best intentions inordinately trying and testy. Yet, life goes on, presenting vicissitudes and violence at every turn, as she dedicates her life to her people, the have-nots. A would-be terrorist murders her. Her enemies, the haves, applaud. Her devotees anguish. Soon thereafter, thoughts, both positive and negative, begin dwelling on her once again. And she lives, in the hearts and minds of her people. To the chagrin of those who rejected her.
