Sinopse
Meet Ymo — the young, bold, sarcastic, and struggling test subject for medical trials — who decides to shed her gender, her body, and her ability to dream for a second chance at life as a robot.
Fans of William Gibson and Margaret Atwood will be mesmerized by this fast-paced tale of survival in a not-too-distant future, seen through the eyes of a rebellious and free-spirited young woman coming to terms with who she is for the first time.
But objectification of women takes on a whole new meaning in Ymo's binary world, where no one and nothing — not even one's own body — can be trusted.
With a foreword by Matthew Derby and a new prologue by the author, this updated edition proves again why Alan Moore called Nightmare in Silicon beautiful, driven, and brave.
A portion of proceeds from this book will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
Resumo da Crítica
"Do you remember when Spielberg’s AI came out and every review seemed to mention that it had long been a pet project of Stanley Kubrick, and then went on to lament what an amazing creation it could have been in his hands? ...While in no way the same beast, Colette Phair’s debut Nightmare In Silicon is the closest analog to an imaginary Kubrick AI that you’re likely to find." —JEREMY ROBERT JOHNSON (Verbicide Magazine), author of Angel Dust Apocalypse and Entropy In Bloom
"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 voice that demands and deserves to be listened to." —ALAN MOORE, author of Batman: The Killing Joke and V For Vendetta
