You should read it, really witty :) I met Bruce Sterling last year in Belgrade :), it strikes me now such a weird place to meet someone :) He is married with a dear friend, the Serb writer Jasmina Tesanovic, who often writes for Bing Bong. They were in Belgrade to clean up the big flat of Jasmina's former husband, a good poet. Bruce was wearing some clothes who had belonged to the deceased husband. We drank a lot of beer, talked about Ada and about Bruce's obsession with extreme weather.
