Bruce Sterling keynote and book review

2 May 2004
Bruce Sterling will be giving the keynote address at SIGGRAPH 2004 (the 31st International Conference on Computer Graphics & Interactive Techniques). The address is titled "When Blobjects Rule the Earth," and will speculate on the future of graphic simulation when practical differences no longer exist between computer-generated models and physical, manufactured objects.[Via Digital Producer Magazine] Also on a Bruce Sterling track Salon review "The Zenith Angle". A nice review worth reading, even if nowadays you have to sit through an advert to read the full content of Salon articles. It's noted that "Starting today, Salon begins biweekly reviews of new science fiction and fantasy books." Cool.
