More quotes by Bruce Sterling
Hackers are arrogant geek romantics. They lack the attentive spirit of inquiry.
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
Here in Europe they had a Dark Age so extensive, radical and obliterative that everyone forgot how to speak Latin.
Bruce Sterling
Tomorrow composts today.
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
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
Obsolescence and death, the reign of the archaic, the abandoned, and the corny: Really, if you saw Windows 3.0 on the sidewalk outside the building, would you bend over and pick it up?!?
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
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
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
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
The future is a process, not a destination.
Bruce Sterling
Find a client and get a job.
Bruce Sterling
The past is a kind of future that has already happened.
Bruce Sterling
The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.
Bruce Sterling
The future is a process, not a destination. Richard Stallman is a guy my age. I sympathize with Richard rather more than I sympathize with Richard's open-source ideas, but the guy's a mortal human being and so is his social movement. Open-source is a means of production.
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.
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
The future is unwritten. Cyberspace is the funhouse mirror of our own society, reflects our values and our faults, sometimes in terrifying exaggerations. It doesn't matter who you are today, if you don't show up in that mirror you are just not going to matter very much. Our kids have to show up in the mirror.
