Tell me this Sterling guy got most other things wrong to even out being this spot on way back in 1994.
- ctoth 11y agoI was thinking to myself in the shower a few days ago, it must be incredibly boring to be Bruce Sterling. Where most of us can open HN and see something new and shiny and even sometimes unexpected, he saw it all clearly 20 years ago.
- otoburb 11y agoOn the contrary, how can he be bored if he's constantly roaming his imagination 20yrs ahead of where we are now, just as vividly as he was in 1994 writing about cryptocurrency, laptops made from straw, and reconfigurable chairs governed by topological expressions.
- pjc50 11y agoBruce Sterling has a whole bunch of futurist notes you can read: http://www.viridiandesign.org/NotesIndex.htm http://www.viridiandesign.org/NotesIndex.htm - some of it is spot on, some of it was obvious even at the time to clued in people, and some of it is way out there still. Plus all his actual science fiction.
