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
