[A]re virtual actors about to put Hollywood's humans out of work? [More]My first reaction was to cheer on the fall of stars from the firmament. But the thought strikes these could even be more dangerous as influencers.

ReplyDeleteIn another review, I enjoyed the following description:
"Montag turns off the TV walls and tries to engage the three women in conversation. They reluctantly oblige him, but he becomes angry when they describe how they voted in the last presidential election, based solely on the physical appearance and other superficial qualities of the candidates."
The book was written in 1953, so I'm pretty sure none of the women in it said, "Because he black."
