Ray And Molly

Ray: Anyway, you do look amazing

Molly: You say that every time we meet

Ray: I mean you look 20 again, only more beautiful than at the start of the book

Molly: I know that's how you'd want me

Ray: Ok, you were an attractive young woman when I first met you and you still project yourself as a beautiful young woman at least when I'm with you

Molly: Thanks

Ray: Are you saying that you're a machine now?

Molly: A machine? That's really not for me to say it's like asking me if I'm brilliant or inspiring

Ray: I guess the word machine in 2099 doesn't have quite the same connotations that it has here in 1999

Molly: It's hard for me to recall now



Ray: Oh well

Molly: I'm really just dabbling but creating music is a great way for me to stay close with Jeremy and Emily

Ray: Creating music sounds like a good thing to do with your kids even if they are almost 90 years old. So could I hear it?

Molly: Uh I'm afraid you wouldn't understand it

Ray: So it requires enhancement to understand?

Molly: Yes most of it does. For starters, the symphonies and frequencies that a mosh can't hear and it has much too faster tempo and it uses musical structures that a mosh could never follow

Ray: Can't you create art for non-augmented humans? I mean there's still a lot of depth possible. Consider Beethoven, he wrote almost two centuries ago and we still find his music exhilarating

Molly: Yes there is a genre of music. All the arts actually, where we create music and art that a mosh is capable of understanding

Ray: And then you play mosh music for moshes?

Molly: hmm now that's an interesting idea. I suppose we could try that, although moshes are not that easy to find anymore. It's really not necessary though, we can certainly understand what a mosh is capable of understanding. The point though is to use the mosh limitations as an added constraint.

Ray: Sort of like
