A set of Bollywood actresses are coming through Dallas soon in a live tour I'd pay a lot to see them, but alas, I'm fully booked elsewhere.
Bruce Sterling
Every passing year brings us more past futures.
Bruce Sterling
Privacy under what circumstance? Privacy at home under what circumstances? You have more privacy if everyone's illiterate, but you wouldn't really call that privacy. That's ignorance.
Bruce Sterling
Cyberspace is the funhouse mirror of our own society.
Bruce Sterling
You don't get to cut that chain of evidence and start over. You're always going to be pursued by your data shadow, which is forming from thousands and thousands of little leaks and tributaries of information.
