Bruce Sterling

Well, Bruce Sterling is a man who likes to think about things and write stories. He likes to imagine what the world could be like in the future, and he writes stories about it.

Sometimes he writes stories about people who are like us, but they live in a world that is very different from ours. Maybe there are robots everywhere, or maybe the world is very polluted and the air is hard to breathe.

Other times, he writes stories about things that don't exist yet, but could someday. Maybe in the future, we will have flying cars or robots that can cook dinner for us. Bruce Sterling thinks about these things and writes stories about them.
