Bruce Sterling is one of the original cyberpunk authors, and the unofficial spokesperson for the genre. He writes a critical column for Science Fiction Eye and a popular-science column for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Bruce Sterling is born in 1954 in Texas, United States.
Sterling's first novel, Involution Ocean, appeared in 1977 when he was just twenty-three. A flawed but fascinating first novel, it created the dreadful planet of Nullaqua with considerable skill, surviving an introduction by Harlan Ellison designed to kill off a dozen lesser writers from bashfulness.
