Company Info


Mark Phillips, CyberBard

Well, OK, "CyberBard"'s a joke. Mark's real SmartMonsters title is "Poobah". Er, that is, Lead Technology Guy. Something like that.

Mark's a somewhat semi-known writer of arty-farty experimental fiction. While TriadCity's his main effort, his other writing has been widely published online.

Mark's believes that multi-user role-playing games are a form of literature, halfway between Pynchon and Star Trek's Holodeck. His goal for SmartMonsters is to contribute to the definition of the medium's characteristic forms and vocabularies. Try saying that ten times fast: if you succeed, you'll sound a lot like Mark does.

To pay the rent he's a technology guy, currently working for a software company in Silicon Valley.

"There are a number of ways of foregrounding ... intertextual space and integrating it into the text's structure, but none is more effective than the device of "borrowing" a character from another text - "transworld identity," Umberto Eco has called this, the transmigration of characters from one fictional universe to another."
--Brian McHale,
