About me:
Instructions: This coding, starting with the cite tag above should go into your "about me" section and should be the only thing in your about me section. You may leave these instructions in place for reference, as they will not appear on your profile.
It is strongly recommended that you do not edit this section if you are not good with CSS, as spelling something incorrectly or accidentally deleting something as simple as a . or a ; could result in your profile not working at all. In order to add comments back, add this code right before the closing style tag near the end of this section:
.friendsComments{display:inline; top:XXXpx; left:XXXpx; position:absolute; height:XXXpx; width:XXXpx; overflow:auto}
.friendsComments td{visibility:visible; color:XXXXXX; background-color:XXXXXX}
You will need to adjust the XXX's for background color, width, height, and position. In order to edit colors of text within your comments, additional code is required, which can be found at http://www.myspaceprodesigns.com/tutorial/myspacesel.php
Some of you will want to remove our logo and we understand, but we ask that you please at least put a link to http://www.myspaceprodesigns.com somewhere on your profile. We would be truly appreciative as we have spent a lot of time making these layouts both functional and easy to use.

Robots don't die.
Robots don't sleep.
Robots don't dream...
Getting medical tests performed on her to pay the rent, staying up all night with her scarred and strange friends, sharing beds with her boyfriend and whoever else comes along, Ymo's is a world so infused with sex that it's become an identity. Ymo is a woman. That is, until diagnosis with a life-threatening illness leaves her no chance of survival, except in the gender-neutral body of a robot. What follows is her struggle to stay human while existing as a sexless object. Ymo's final role as guinea pig will be to answer the question "What if people didn't dream?"

"A toxic-shock torrent of bad energy and beautiful language, Colette Phair's 'Nightmare in Silicon' is recklessly brave and driven writing, brimming with fluorescent style and startling ideas. Hers is a strong, new voice that demands and deserves to be listened to."
—ALAN MOORE, author of V For Vendetta and Watchmen
"Cyberpunk is alive and well. Nightmare in Silicon is convulsively funny, hideously diseased, erotically oozing, tightly plotted, and told with a wonderfully sharp tongue."
—RUDY RUCKER, author of Software and Mathematicians in Love
"If Kathy Acker had lived long enough to have access to an iPod, Red Bull and Second Life, she might have come to sound like Colette Phair… Phair takes no prisoners in her vivid, sonorous truth-telling."
—PAUL DI FILIPPO, author of Ciphers and Ribofunk

Hello Nightmare in Silicon,
My novel Burn Your Belongings was recently reviewed in the Japan Times.
Please click the link on my myspace.
Take care, David
loved it colette.
Happy birthday Mz Phair. Hope you enjoy it.
I'm looking forward to picking up NiS as soon as possible. The Alan Moore blurb pulled it. It sounds good.
Hope you're well.
Thanks for the add...
Hey Colette:
Congrats on Nightmare coming out. I hope the book goes over really well, and you sell a boatload of copies.
Hope you enjoy the holidays.
Take care,
Vincent

looking forward to it
cheers novel-everyone-should-buy
ah, nightmare- how i remember reading you well. . . sitting at the computer at work, perusing your untranslated pages on a mac. . . my heart murmurs at your slow birth, shivering gently in a death spasm
greetings...have I gone blind?
I really look forward to reading this novel!
