    http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Sterling/
    
    Extractions: Don't become a well-rounded person. Well rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person. Grow spikes from every angle. Stick in their throats like a pufferfish. If you want to woo the muse of the odd, don't read Shakespeare . Read Webster 's revenge plays. Don't read Homer and Aristotle . Read Herodotus where he's off talking about Egyptian women having public sex with goats . If you want to read about myth don't read Joseph Campbell , read about convulsive religion , read about voodoo and the Millerites and the Munster Anabaptists . There are hundreds of years of extremities, there are vast legacies of mutants. There have always been geeks. There will always be geeks. Become the apotheosis of geek. Learn who your spiritual ancestors were. You didn't come here from nowhere. There are reasons why you're here. Learn those reasons. Learn about the stuff that was buried because it was too experimental or embarrassing or inexplicable. ``The Wonderful Power of Storytelling'' The self-described Chairman Mao of the cyberpunk movement - for whatever that's worth. I used to like his essays and reportage much better than his fiction, but a summer spent reading Heavy Weather and Islands in the Net changed my mind. Though the Shaper-Mechanist stories still do nothing for me except squick me out, I now expect to be a character from one of his more recent books when I grow up.

    Extractions: Culture Home About Edge Features Edge Editions ... Edge Search "We sailed northeast. After two weeks we left the Pentacles behind. This part of the Sea of Dust was monopolized by a peculiar lifeform known as the lilypad. There were hundreds of acres of these strange plants. Their photosynthetic organ was a single round leaf, yards in diameter but only an inch thick. It floated on the surface, absorbing as much sunlight as possible. The gray sea was greenly polka-dotted with thousands of the plants; they were free-floating and strangely sensitive. When disturbed, the leaf curled inwards, wrinkling over its entire surface and withdrawing completely into its root; a thick, round bulb. This immediately sank its the opaque depths, away from the reach of herbivores." - from Involution Ocean Bruce Sterling BRUCE STERLING was born in 1954 in Brownsville, Texas. His grandfather was a rancher, his father an engineer. Sterling, purportedly a novelist by trade, actually spends most of his time aimlessly messing with computers, modems, and fax machines. He and his wife Nancy have a daughter Amy, born in 1987. They live in Austin, Texas. Sterling sold his first science fiction story in 1976. His solo novels include

    Extractions: Charms and amulets I am an antique collector by nature and four generations of family tradition fascinated by unusual artifacts and their historical and cultural origins. While researching tribal art in Southeast Asia 10 years ago, I became similarly captivated by the intense artistry and skill involved in creating unique beads I first began acquiring ancient glass beads used as currency during the 10 12th century Majapahit Dynasty in Java. Since then, I have steadily expanded with acquisitions from Asia, Europe, Africa, America and other parts of the world so that today we offer an outstanding collection of ancient to contemporary beads for all enthusiasts, including designers, collectors and others with specialized interests.

    Extractions: How to subscribe to Booklist Magazine Sterling, Bruce. Distraction. Dec. 1998. 432p. Bantam/Spectra, $23.95 (0-553-10484-5). It's nearly half a century into the future, and the U.S. is rapidly disintegrating. Cloning is widespread, and nomadic yet highly organized tribes of hackers known as proles roam the countryside occasionally clashing with government forces. Wrapping up a successful political campaign for a Massachusetts senator, Oscar Valparaiso, policy analyst for the U.S. Senate Science Committee, finds himself at odds with Louisiana's governor Huey over, among other things, the Collaboratory, an enormous scientific research center conducting advanced genetic studies that have nearly resulted in a civil war and World War III. Sterling, author of the provocative Holy Fire (1996), presents a fantastic yet credible future, expertly showcasing his vast knowledge of politics, science, economics, architecture, and technology. Repeating his mantra that everything is "doable," Oscar transforms a drab lab-scientist into a powerful leader, forms questionable alliances with the proles, and, when the senator loses his senses, becomes a de facto power broker himself. Sort of a futuristic All the King's Men with bioengineering.

    Extractions: We did the usual Call for Questions thing Monday. We didn't get quite as many as we've had for some other interview subjects here, but sometimes quality is more important than quantity, and we sent Bruce some beauts. His answers are of similar excellence, and are well worth reading even if you have never read any of his work or even if you despise science fiction. So click below, read, and enjoy! Lemmy Caution asks: A lot of your work recently has been on the Viridian project - a movement dedicated to innovative, practical, and far-reaching responses to environmental crisis. You've focused on the use of design and engineering to create a less destructive way of living on this planet. You're doing so in a way that seeks to avoid politics - you'll name names, but seem unwilling to pitch battles. Is this fatalism, or an attempt to preserve consensus in a movement that includes both libertarians and communitarians?

    Wired article. It's the New American Holiday. bruce sterling takes the kids to the Temporary Autonomous Zone, where survival is a personal choice.  
    http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.11/burningman.html
    
    Extractions: By Bruce Sterling Thursday, August 29 Stopped at the gas station for directions to the Burning Man Festival. Grizzled, portly Nevadan local growls: "If ya have to ask, you don't belong there!" As if anybody was gonna drive all the way to Gerlach, Nevada (population 340), for some other reason.The gas station was packed with mobile homes and junker slackermobiles. The guy relented and gave us directions. Seems a multiple-pierced and tattooed lovely in a clingy peach taffeta costume had melted his heart. Drove 16 miles. Then drove another 12 miles across the bottom of a very dead lake. Driving across the playa is like space travel: you point the front of the vehicle into emptiness and launch. Gaseous tails of flying white dust spurt up like jet exhaust. Cars and trucks leave huge wakes on the horizon, like white prairie fires. If the wind kicks up, the world becomes a twilight zone of milky haze. Driving fast in a whiteout dust fog is an excellent way to get killed. We're in a 22-foot Ford recreational vehicle, in which I've brought the family to Burning Man: Nancy Sterling (wife, mom), Amy Sterling (9 years), and the littlest desert fox, Laura of Arabia, a hardened travel veteran at 4 months. We've never lived in an RV before. It's a mutant cross between an aircraft and a small chunk of suburbia. It's brand-new, but it shudders, moans, vibrates, rattles, squeaks, and emits foul generator exhaust.
