Liking What You See: A Documentary

In response to John Brennan's fascinating world idea "The Looking Glass", which augments reality to make the environment, objects, fashion more beautiful, I was reminded of Ted Chiang's social commentary in science fiction story format, "Liking What You See: A Documentary". This story shows what happens when calliagnosia implants disable distinction of human beauty (especially facial beauty). It is the last story in his outstanding collection, Stories of Your Life and Others.
