Books like Remake by Connie Willis
Connie Willis’ *Remake* envisions a future Los Angeles in which film production is wholly automated and iconic figures from the golden age of Hollywood—such as Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe—re‑appear on screen through advanced simulations. In this high‑tech landscape, Alis, a starry‑eyed performer, persists in her quest to dance in a live‑action movie despite the dominance of recomposed digital productions. Through her story, Willis examines how emotion and technology intersect, and how desire for authenticity can challenge a world where everything from plot to performance can be altered with the stroke of a key.
First publish date: 1994
