Caryatids

Porch of the Caryatids ..the Erechtheum at the Acropolis

I just finished Bruce Sterling's Caryatids. Balkan war criminals in orbit, eco-disaster, techno-cultists, Hollywood, clones, tribal globalistas on the Gobi, that Bruce Sterling. We only get a book from him every few years, so it was a treat. For those of you who are interested, here are some links to his other activities.

• Cheap Truth
• Viridian Design
• Manafestos
• Lift Conference
• Beyond the Beyond

On a personal note, I miss the old time Space Opera. I know postmodern mundane and fantasy are the wave, and bio/eco stories grapple with the now, and grown-up literary qualities rule the roost, but I still have some room on my plate for an old fashioned starship and some mindless adventure.
