62. The Infinite Matrix | Bruce Sterling | Schism Matrix Intro
Bruce Sterling's weblog, Schism Matrix. Kickoff Bruce tells us what he thinkshe's doing. Bruce Sterling writes books like Darwin watched animals.
http://www.infinitematrix.net/columns/sterling/sterlingi.html
Thanks for showing up at the exciting premiere of my brand new weblog, Schism Matrix . I would like to take this opportunity to explain what it is that I think I'm doing here. First of all, a word to the many eager web designers in the audience. Unlike many webloggers, I am not a web designer. I write novels for a living and I am strictly a verbal, textual, words-in-a-row kind of guy. Never in my life have I created even a single line of HTML code. I do not plan to start, either. So do not send me any helpful email explaining to me how with a few nifty Java extensions I can introduce some primo dancing baloney into my blog. I totally get the point there, but I'm not designing this thing and that is not my lookout. Besides, check this out:
You see those people with the cameras? That is an entire crowd of America's most prominent webloggers crammed into my bathroom . That's like Megnut from Pyra, and that harrumph personage , and several equally prominent blog g o d s and goddesses . If those people cannot change me, you cannot change me.

http://www.fantascienza.com/edf/recensioni/sterling-oceano.html
Sterling, Bruce: Oceano
Oceano / Bruce Sterling. - Bologna: Perseo Libri, 1991. - Cm. 22, p. 214, rilegato. - ( Biblioteca di Nova sf *, 6). - L. 23.000. - Titolo originale: Involution Ocean (1977); traduzione di Stefano Carducci e Ugo Malaguti. Il "good doctor" Malaguti ha perfettamente ragione quando nell'introduzione all'opera indica gli anni '68-'81 come i peggiori mai vissuti dalla fs: draghi, unicorni, tutti i gadget della fantasy deteriore hanno preso campo e monopolizzato il mercato. Le cause di tutto questo sono molteplici, e molte analisi del fenomeno sono apparse anche nel fandom italiano: penso agli articoli proposti, e scritti, da Santoni prima su TDS e poi su Intercom , per non tacere dell'intervento di Platt su Blade Runner
Non condivido invece l'entusiasmo mostrato da Malaguti: Sterling era giovane quando il romanzo apparve (23 anni), era appena uscito dal workshop del Clarion, e considerarlo uno dei capolavori misconosciuti degli anni '70 mi sembra sinceramente una esagerazione! (Ci sono molte altre cose nell'introduzione su cui non sono d'accordo, ad esempio sull'indicare Tanith Lee e Simak fra i migliori autori degli anni '70: ma non ho voglia di far polemiche. Chi ha orecchie per intendere...)
John Newhouse (che si spaccia per terrestre e veneziano - Newhouse = Casanova) vive pacifico in una comune di Isola Alta, la città più grande del pianeta Nullaqua. I soldi per vivere vengono ricavati dal commercio del "Lampo", droga che è ricavata dalle interiora delle balene della polvere abitatrici del Mare di Polvere, un gigantasco oceano di sabbia. Una legge dell'impero, per stroncare il traffico di droga, vieta all'improvviso la vendita delle interiora, costringendo John ad imbarcarsi con un amico sulla baleniera di capitan Desperandum, per procurarsele nascostamente. Il libro narra il viaggio di John, dei suoi rapporti con l'aliena Dalusa e con Desperandum: ritornerà libero dalla schiavitù della droga, e rigenerato spiritualmente.

"Heavy Weather"
I read this one awhile ago and don't have a copy of this book with me (somehow I left it on the boat). This makes it harder to write a comment, since I like to thumb through the pages and re-read parts of each book. To help, I decided to read the comments in Amazon.com. I think I have found the first absolutely positive and praiseworthy "Kirkus Review." Normally, Kirkus ticks me off, because they spill the whole story and then dismiss it as less than the perfect novel. But alas, as said in their own words, Heavy Weather is "A cyberpunk winner!" In the late 2030's, the climate is a mess in Texas, along Tornado alley. This renegade Troupe of meteorologists and computer experts, band together to hack weather as they wait for the colossal tornado, the F-6. The technology is good, and the story line stands on its own. If a script was made from Heavy Weather Twister could have been a far better movie.

A Contrarian View of Open Source
by Bruce Sterling
Editor's Note: At the recent O'Reilly Open Source Convention , writer Bruce Sterling held court in a conference room far too small to hold all of the people who wanted to hear him. Below is the text of this talk, which was presented on July 26, 2002. Bruce Sterling : Thanks for showing up to see the obligatory novelist at this gig. It's very touching of you to take the trouble to watch me get some emotional issues off my chest. You know, I don't write code. I don't think I'm ever going to write any code. It just amazes me how often people who know absolutely nothing about code want to tell software people their business. "Why don't they just," that's the standard phraseology. "Why don't they just" code up something-or-other. Whenever I hear that, frankly, I just want to slap the living shit out of those people. That's like people whose fingers are covered with diamonds complaining about the easy lives of diamond miners.
