These Delicate Creatures

When a tyrant overtakes her space colony, Emma Lo strikes back with her art. 

She employs nanotechnology to transform her century-old body so that she may play Othello in a desperate bid to satirize and overthrow the President—until someone hacks Emma's com link and begins to blackmail her. 

A cat-and-mouse game in a 4000-word rapier of a short story where Emma's life and spirit are at stake and, to quote the Scottish play, she "cannot fly,/But, bear-like...must fight the course."
