Presented by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society November 13-15 1998 at the Adam's Mark Hotel A prolific writer and true "Renaissance man" within his chosen art, Bruce Sterling is equally at home writing novels, short fiction, journalism, and essays. His many works include the 1992 non-fiction work Hacker Crackdown and the novels Islands in the Net, Involution Ocean, and Schismatrix. With William Gibson, he co-authored The Difference Engine in 1990. Besides writing a regular column for Science Fiction Eye, he has published multiple short stories in magazines like Omni and Isaac Asimov's SF. He has put out two short story collections, Globalhead and Crystal Express. His journalism efforts have appeared in Details, Wired, and Interzone 16. In addition, Sterling's essays are published in The New York Times and Newsday. Numerous other magazines have accepted his works, and he has quite a bibliography of uncollected short fiction. Sterling's community awareness cannot go unremarked; it is unusual to find a writer with such an extroverted hobby as public speaking. In Austin, Texas, where he resides with his wife and two daughters, he has been an active board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an electronic civil liberties group. He has also appeared on television numerous times: in ABC's Nightline, MTV, the BBC's The Late Show, The Learning Channel, and on radio in CBC's Morningside.   Links Review of Holy Fire Interview at SF Site Bruce Sterling's Cyberpunk Cannon Bio at Texas Monthly WWW Ranch Bio at the "Our Digital Age" conference page The Difference Dictionary, Supplement to The Difference Engine Scathing article about people who write viruses at IBM online Bruce Sterling chews up Prodigy and spits them out Real Audio Clip of Bruce Sterling talking about the future of computer privacy (at the bottom of the page) Bruce Sterling speaks out against the Clipper Chip at the Computers, Freedom and privacy Conference IV
