Danse M?canique — Steven Popkes

Divaloids—performing software robots—fill the world. They sing. They dance. They bring their audiences to their feet screaming for more. You can see them in concert or in the privacy of your home. Watch them at corporate functions or select private meetings. Of them, the most famous is Dot. She has fan clubs, discussion groups, caravans of people following her concerts like perpetual gypsies. But the divaloids cannot write their own material. Everything they do reflects someone else's creative work. That was true for Dot 1.0. Dot 2.0 is an experiment. She can write her own songs and drive them home with all of Dot 1.0's powers. Dot 1.0 did what she was told. Dot 2.0 has other ideas.
