Description

Alongside William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling stands in the front of the select number of authors whose pitch-perfect understanding of the medical and social zeitgeist endows their works of risky near-future fiction with uncanny verisimilitude. To see a book by Sterling would be to get a mail from the time-traveler. Today, using The Caryatids, Sterling has created a sensational testament of belief in the ability of human imagination, intelligence, and character to conquer any obstacle–even the hurdles we carry inside ourselves. The planet of 2060 is divided in to three spheres of influence, each fighting with all the others within the assets of decreased countries and a breeding ground changed nearly to the stage of no-return.
