Saturday, March 02, 2002 I would so much like to hate Bruce Sterling In 1992, he sent me very nasty flame mail on the Well. The bastard. For years I thought him lower than shower-enclosure scum. Then I met him a few years ago at a gig I was invited to join in on at the far-fabled (and now largely forgotten) Institute for the Future. At lunch on the second day, Sterling did this stand-up routine on "The Perfect Online Customer" and I thought I would swallow my tongue from laughing. Especially when I glanced around at the horrified looks on the faces of the IFTF wranglers and -- even better -- at the strangulated terror of The Big Client all this was put on for. So, I have had to modify my view of the man. He's simply a great fucking writer, no matter what he's writing about. At the link above, there is something to offend nearly everyone, but by the third graf, you're chuckling too much to much care. I'm seldom envious of other writers (should I admit this?), but Bruce Sterling: you bastard! 1:23 PM | link |
