More quotes by Bruce Sterling
The internet brought many laudable things, but prosperity, stability, accountability and honest politics were not four of them.
Bruce Sterling
I used to think that cyberspace was fifty years away. What I thought was fifty years away, was only ten years away. And what I thought was ten years away... it was already here. I just wasn't aware of it yet.
Bruce Sterling
War as Napoleon knew it just not possible any more. However, we're very unlikely to accept or recognize world peace even when we get it.
Bruce Sterling
David Brin is a technological determinist. He thinks that we understand the trend and we need to hop on it. I don't have any such illusions.
Bruce Sterling
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
The future is a process, not a destination.
Bruce Sterling
Political people don't solve stuff - not really. Political people are like guys in pop music.

Okay, are you really 'experimenting'? How do you know if you're really experimenting? You're working on it methodically and you're publishing the results! It's not an experiment if you don't publish the results in some verifiable and falsifiable form, okay?
Bruce Sterling
But even the Four Horsemen of Kidporn, Dope Dealers, Mafia and Terrorists don't worry me as much as totalitarian governments. It's been a long century, and we've had enough of them.
Bruce Sterling
The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.
Bruce Sterling
The level of ignorance is declining, and the ability to accumulate data and manipulate it for various ends is increasing.
Bruce Sterling
The past is a kind of future that has already happened.
Bruce Sterling
I know that the human condition will be radically changed through technical means. Much of this change will be painful, monstrous and horrible. Most mutations are disgusting failures, most experiments are failures. I accept this and I don't find it frightening.
Bruce Sterling
Science fiction is not about the freedom of imagination. It's about a free imagination pinched and howling in a vise that other people call real life.
Bruce Sterling
The Bollywood distribution system is so corrupt that they have trouble making money off movies. So they sell shoes that an actress stepped in. If they turned up the amps some, maybe they could sell the actresses.
Bruce Sterling
Saying you have a political solution is like saying you can write a pop song that's going to stay at the top of the list forever. I don't have many illusions about this, but I'm not cynical about it.
Bruce Sterling
We might be on the brink of an apocalypse if, instead of poor people with suicide bombs killing middle class guys, middle-class people with suicide bombs started killing rich guys.
Bruce Sterling
It's a truism in technological development that no silver lining comes without its cloud.
Bruce Sterling
Here in Europe they had a Dark Age so extensive, radical and obliterative that everyone forgot how to speak Latin.
Bruce Sterling
The future isn't just unwritten, it's unsearched.
