Bruce Sterling

Nato a Brownsville, Texas, il 14 aprile 1954, Bruce Sterling è una figura di spicco nei mondi della letteratura e del giornalismo. È noto soprattutto per i suoi dieci romanzi di fantascienza, ma la sua scrittura si estende alle storie brevi, alle recensioni di libri, alla critica del design, alle colonne di opinione e alle introduzioni per vari libri. La scrittura di Sterling ha influenzato la forma della fantascienza e del pensiero futuristico, con i suoi lavori non fiction come "The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier" (1992), "Tomorrow Now: Envisioning the Next Fifty Years" (2003), e "Shaping Things" (2005) che forniscono commenti intelligenti sulla tecnologia e la società.

La carriera di Sterling include ruoli come giornalista, critico e editor contribuente per Wired magazine, una posizione che ha mantenuto dal suo inizio nel 1999. La sua scrittura è apparsa in numerose pubblicazioni, tra cui ABC's Nightline, BBC's The Late Show, CBC's Morningside, su MTV e TechTV, e in Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, il New York Times, Fortune, Nature, I.D., Metropolis, Technology Review, Der Spiegel, La Stampa, e La Repubblica. Ha anche detenuto prestigiose posizioni come "Visionario in Residenza" al Art Center College of Design di Pasadena e al Sandberg Instituut di Amsterdam, e Curatore Ospite per la Share Festival of Digital Art and Culture di Torino, in Italia. I suoi contributi alle mondi della fantascienza e del giornalismo sono stati significativi e di ampia portata.
