Synopsis:
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 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.
Review:
"In 'Remake' Connie Willis offers another of her playful glimpses into a media-obsessed future that still has room, if only barely, for love...By playing fast and loose with the science fiction convention of time travel, she finds a fresh approach to that complex of products and attitudes that we sum up in the word 'Hollywood.'"
Gerald Jonas, New York Times Book Review
