The Girl Who Would Be Marilyn Monroe dares to strip away the satin, the spotlight, the studio-invented shine, to reveal the tender child beneath: a girl marked not by fame but by longing.

Wie würde es dir gefallen, wenn eine künstliche Intelligenz, über die Geburt und Tod deiner Kinder entscheiden würde, und du nur dann Kinder bekommen dürftest, wenn dein CO₂-Konto und die Sozialkreditpunkte deiner elektronischen Identität (EID) über genug Guthaben verfügen? Wie würdest du dich verhalten, wenn dir deine dystopische Regierung, dein Kind nach der Geburt einfach so entzieht und tötet, weil eine (KI) beschlossen hat, dass es den genetischen Anforderungen der WHO nicht entspricht, oder dein CO2-Budget schlicht zu niedrig ist, für eine legale Geburt.
