Thanks, William Gibson!

"A remarkable innovation would be the use of automata, to play Su
Feng's handmaidens.  'A German engineer is building them,' said
Itague.  'They're lovely creatures: one will even unfastened your
robe.  Another will play a zither--although the music itself comes
from the pit.  But they move so gracefully!  Not like machines at
all." (V., Ch. 14, Sec. i, p. 396)
