Illustrated by Peter Miller
Polemicist, provocateur, futurist, "visionary in residence", Bruce Sterling has been out there, personally sharpening the cutting edge of science fiction for many years.
From his first novel Involution Ocean in 1977 to his latest stories, Sterling has written science fiction that is fast-moving, sharply extrapolated, technologically literate, and as brilliant and coherent as a laser, as he himself once sad of William Gibson.
His "Shaper/Mechanist" stories were an essential part of the cyberpunk movement of the '80s, just as his "Leggy Starlitz" and " Chattanooga" stories wrangled the near future of the '90s better than anyone else. Whether writing about the deep future in Schismatrix or the deep present in Holy Fire, he has developed into one of the best science fiction writers working today.
