Posthuman Blues

Cyberpunk luminary/Viridian pope-emperor/design maven Bruce Sterling has just married -- and he's leaving Jesusland for the greener pastures of Belgrade.

Aside from keeping my bookshelves stocked with provoking, witty science fiction (I recommend "Schismatrix," a posthuman space-opera predating Ken MacLeod and Charles Stross), Sterling was kind enough to lend a cover blurb to my debut short-story collection, "Illumined Black." (The magnitude of this favor can only be appreciated if you've actually read the stories.)
