16 May 2006 On Tuesday, 16 May, author, journalist, editor and critic Bruce Sterling ranted to a full house about RFID, the future of design and technology and whatever else was on his mind. Bruce Sterling is best known as a science fiction author and grandfather of the cyberpunk revolution in the 80s, editing the definitive genre anthology Mirrorshades. His books from that period include Islands in the Net, Schismatrix, and the Difference Engine, co-written with William Gibson. Recently, Sterling has expanded on ideas about history, technology, art theory, politics and global cultural trends in non-fiction books, most recently Shaping Things (2005). His current blog, Beyond the Beyond, is at http://blog.wired.com/sterling/
