"Tomorrow Now" by Bruce Sterling is an inspired piece of futurism. Sterling follows Jacque's The-Ages-Of-Men-Monologue in Shakespeare‘s play "As you like it". Sterling presents his visions of biotech, knowledge workers, consumerism, failing states, politics in developed countries, the information economy and finally death. While discussing these topics Sterling focuses on their effects on science, pop-culture and our daily life. There is much in Sterling's book that merits a closer look and a second read. ( )

Random tangle of idiosyncratic (though not unintelligent) verbiage.

A bit all-over-the-place, but Sterling is smart and funny and can write like the blazes. Lots of food for thought here, and some excellent journalism. ( )
