Darfsteller

By Walter M. Miller Jr.

In a future where actors have been replaced by flawless, infallible artificial intelligence presences in physical form, an old performer refuses to stay silent. He insists on reclaiming the stage as the bearer of a deep need: to expose himself, to act, to exist in front of others. Technology does not appear as an adversary but as an environment, a field where the question is not "who prevails" but "what does presence mean".
