Her face is so fake. I mean they used the pinnacle of graphics technology to simulate her appearance and it's STILL lacking. These techno-utopians are clearly delusional, in how they fiercely deny THE FACT, that reality cannot be simulated. I don't know how these techno geeks aka transhumanists are taken seriously.

A Ray Bradbury kind of story but darker and porn-ier than he made his 'electric grandmother' story.
