Locus Award for Best Novella 1996, Hugo Award nominee 1996.
Winner of more Hugo and Nebula Awards than any other science fiction
author, Connie Willis is one of the most powerfully imaginative writers
of our time. In Remake, she explores the timeless themes of emotion and
technology, reality and illusion, and the bittersweet place where they
intersect to make art.
Remake
It's the Hollywood of the
future, where moviemaking's been computerized and live-action films are
a thing of the past. It's a Hollywood where Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn
Monroe are starring together in 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 for what one starry-eyed young woman
wants to do: dance in the movies. It's an impossible dream, but Alis is
not willing to give up. With a little magic and a lot of luck, she just
might get her happy ending after all.
