	Bruce Sterling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Bruce Sterling (born April 14, 1954) is an American science fiction author, best known for his novels and his seminal work on the Mirrorshades anthology, which defined the cyberpunk genre.
		Sterling is, along with William Gibson,Jeff Noon, Tom Maddox, Rudy Rucker, John Shirley, Lewis Shiner and Pat Cadigan, one of the founders of the cyberpunk movement in science fiction, as well as its chief ideological promulgator, and one whose polemics on the topic earned him the nickname "Chairman Bruce".
		In the late 1970s onwards, Sterling wrote a series of stories set in the Shaper/Mechanist universe: the solar system is colonised, with two major warring factions.

	Bruce Sterling Book Reviews
		Bruce Sterling's fiction plots a funny and cerebral course through the parallel landscapes of millennial information politics ("Islands in the Net"), phildickian meditation on identity ("Holy Fire") and, more recently, the machinations of electoral politics ("Distraction").
		Sterling's science fiction is characterized by a keen appreciation for social forces and the increasingly intimate relationship between things seen and unseen (the latter being anything from genetically tailored microbes to omnipresent cultural agendas).
		Sterling's unflinching willingness to explore (and break) new ground propels him to the forefront of postmodern science-fiction, and "Holy Fire" is no exception to his canon.

		A Good Old-Fashioned Future collects seven of Bruce Sterling's recent stories, including the Hugo-nominated "Deep Eddy" and the Hugo-winning "Bicycle Repairman."

		Sterling's Wende is a spontaneous weekend of good-natured violent anarchy; the name probably comes from the tumbling of the Berlin Wall.
		Sterling does a wonderful job of turning all the cyberpunk cliches inside out within the framework of a standard paranoid cyberpunk story.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		In his eyes it'll be nothing short of a "meat market," where "the relationship between human flesh and time will come together." In addition, he says genetics--or rather the manipulation of genetics--as well as intensified product design and new world disorder will be the ongoing themes in the 21st century.
		As an example, Sterling points to a small, slender, finger-shaped tape recorder as he talks, explaining it as the new digital tape recorder, which is "tiny, tactile and finger-friendly," a more '90s tech design, compared to the tape recorders of the past, which are "square, fl and businesslike" and designed in the '70s.
		Sterling: Well, the most recent thing I did was the Jan. 2001, 2026 issue of Time Digital.

		Sterling: I like this term you use in Beyond Fear: "security theater." I see a lot of that in airports: every time I buy an airline ticket, I get a front row seat for an elaborate, brazen charade.

		Sterling: Technological change is a mighty spectacle, a vast, ever-changing parade of light and darkness.
