	Amazon.co.uk: Schismatrix Plus: Includes Schismatrix and Selected Stories from Crystal: Books: Bruce Sterling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Schismatrix moves in ever accelerating leaps, without losing a sense of continuity and story (the longevity of the major characters helps), the pace of the narrative reflecting the accelerating disintegration of society, culture and eventually humanity.
		Schismatrix - for all the technology - takes a fundamentally humane perspective on the future - reflecting the beauty and the tragedy of the individual successes and failures weaving into the large perspective of progress.
		Schismatrix Plus is an enhanced book with the inclusion of the Shaper/Mechanist stories, which I feel add a richness to the main text.

	Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling
		Bruce Sterling himself has called his Shaper/Mechanist novel Schismatrix "my favorite among my books." It is a detailed history of a spacefaring humanity divided into two camps: The Shapers, who prefer genetic enhancements, and the Mechanists, who rely on prosthetics.
		This book represents the definitive collection of what is arguably Sterling's most intense work, offering a hard, gritty look at humanity as it pushes and claws its way to the stars.
		From the pioneer of crucial, cutting-edge science fiction comes the stunning world of the Schismatrix, where Shaper revolutionaries struggle against aristocratic Mechanists for ultimate control of human destiny.

		In "Schismatrix Plus" we orbit Luna, attack with space pirates, live in the Rings of Saturn, terraform Mars and much more.
		Schismatrix is a seminal work of Cyber Punk, and an immaginative attack on the age old tradition of SF - and for that it deserves to be read.

	Bruce Sterling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The situation is complicated by the eventual contact with alien civilizations; humanity eventually splits into many subspecies, with the implication that many of these effectively vanish from the galaxy, reminiscent of The Singularity in the works of Vernor Vinge.

		He follows the long career of Abelard Lindsay, genetically altered using the revolutionary technologies of a group called the Shapers, in a series of adventures and intrigues that take him across the solar system in a decades-long battle with the ancient Mechanists, whose power comes from the use of their own, prosthetic technologies.
		These and other competing groups are knitted together into the Schismatrix with the arrival of a species of powerful aliens called the Investors.

	Community and Anarchy - Risus: Schismatrix
		The main character in Schismatrix starts out as one thing, and very early on gets ejected from his home and has to learn to fit in somewhere else, then moves on again and again, and so on.
		A good, setting-appropriate way to model this might be for the PCs to reserve some of their dice to be spent after the game starts.
		This can be used to simulate the combination of culture-shock and extreme adaptability many of the characters in the book display once they are forced out of their niche and into the big bad Schismatrix.
