Information wants you to give me a dollar.

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.

Cyberspace is the funhouse mirror of our own society.

Image
A security cam is one small part of a much larger universe of cams. The much larger effect, socially, politically and economically, is going to come from a much larger trend.

The internet brought many laudable things, but prosperity, stability, accountability and honest politics were not four of them.
Bruce Sterling
Image
Story-tellers should listen seriously to design and architecture without getting all literary and imperial about that. Hackers are arrogant geek romantics. They lack the attentive spirit of inquiry.

The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.

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.

Every passing year brings us more past futures.

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.

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.

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.

The future isn't just unwritten, it's unsearched.
