This is a story about any of us in the modern age of AI and computer technology. The original story tells of an emperor who prefers the bells
and whistles of a robotic bird to the song of a real nightingale. When he becomes sick and is near death, the nightingale restores his health through the beauty of his song. The following line can be found in the original hard copy liner notes.
If we truly loved Reality we would not be so blissfully tricked by illusion.
