Bruce Sterling Sessions

Social networking bigger than email.
These artifacts are what we call books... Let me explain how these devices work. 
Publishing, in my lifetime, has never been in such a perilious state. 
Kindle is like a cassette plug-in for an atari. 
Less conerned about "death of author" more concerned with "death of audience"
Connectivity will be a signifier of poverty. 
Canadians are like back bacon, great white north. 
Ultra-right bookstore in Austin: Brave New Books
A year ago, video game conference, with ike refugees in the next room, who looked more futuristic? The greying game programmers?
The elderly will be the backbone of the social web.
