As a child, Rita heard the story of the orphan Da Niu and the Magic Paintbrush – that could bring pictures to life – every night. Set in an ancient mythical Chinese kingdom and a near future USA, Ken Liu's story explores the tension between humans and the artificial intelligences they build; the act and the art of creation and its inescapable cost.

What a Beautiful story… very appropriate for our times, and the performance was Stellar. I felt she really understood the character and gave a nuanced performance. I cried. A must listen for artists who love science fiction!
