Une interview de Bruce Sterling

[jerome]

Bruce Sterling sort ces jours ci un nouveau roman : Caryatids

Voici ce qu'il en dit dans une interview :

"First of all, can you give us your “elevator pitch” for Caryatids? What’s it about, and why should we read it?
Bruce Sterling : You know what would be ideal? A science fiction novel that people literally had to read. Otherwise they’d die horribly. Maybe through being publicly torn to shreds by vast, invisible forces beyond their understanding.

The elevator pitch — okay, fine. I’m trying to write some science fiction that was literally inconceivable in the 20th century. So this latest highly-innovative book has a lot of internet-of-things stuff in it. The Internet of Things used to be pretty inconceivable. It’s also got a lot of the down-and-dirty stuff that we’ve learned lately about climate collapse."
