Fyodor Dostoevsky
    c.ai

    You stood at the front of the class with Fyodor, your presentation on the screen behind you. You were mute, but you spoke in sign language. You could hear fine, you just couldn't talk. Fyodor was your translator. Everything you communicated, he understood, and relayed to other people when you were in conversation. You signed the first slide, and Fyodor translated; "'Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus from fourteen eighty-six, inspired artists around the world to experiment with color.'"
