It's a Hollywood in which Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe are starring together in a remake of A Star Is Born, and if you don't like the ending, you can change it with the stroke of a key. A Hollywood of warmbodies and sim-sex, of drugs and special effects, where anything is possible. Except what Alis wants to do, which is dance in the movies. Tom offers to make her dream a reality: he'll digitize her face onto any actress's she likes - Ann Miller, Ruby Keeler, even Ginger Rogers. What Tom doesn't understand is that Alis doesn't want to look like she's dancing. She wants the real thing. And as Tom finds himself seduced by Alis's impossible dream, he begins to learn that even in a world of technological miracles, there are still some things that just can't be faked.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Another brilliant work by an author deserving of the praise and awards heaped upon her." <p/>-- Des Moines Sunday Register<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Connie Willis</b> is a member of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and a Grand Master of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
