If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.

The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.
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
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
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
One of the points about distractions is that everything that they do is destabilizing.
Bruce Sterling
The level of ignorance is declining, and the ability to accumulate data and manipulate it for various ends is increasing.
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.
