More quotes by Bruce Sterling
It's counterproductive to blither on about the future. It's always somebody's future, and we're not who we used to be.
Bruce Sterling
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
My dream appliance circa 2050 has one big dial on it, and when I twist it to the right, my IQ goes up to 450.
Bruce Sterling
People in the Pentagon had colleagues killed and maimed by bin Laden. They're trying to find bin Laden and kill him and his cult. Naturally they consider that a legitimate thing to do, but they're having mixed success at the job.
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
Every passing year brings us more past futures.
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
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
Information wants you to give me a dollar.
Bruce Sterling
The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.
Bruce Sterling
If bin Laden is in fact publicly killed, then the US military will find itself standing around with its hands in its pockets, wondering what's supposed to come next.
Bruce Sterling
The future is a process, not a destination.
Bruce Sterling
When you can’t imagine how things are going to change, that doesn’t mean that nothing will change. It means that things will change in ways that are unimaginable.
Bruce Sterling
Tomorrow composts today.
Bruce Sterling
One of the points about distractions is that everything that they do is destabilizing.
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
Your attitude determines your altitude. Your ambitions are bigger than life Of course. They must be. They encompass it.
Bruce Sterling
Political people don't solve stuff - not really. Political people are like guys in pop music.
Bruce Sterling
It's a truism in technological development that no silver lining comes without its cloud.
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.
