Bruce Sterling - The Hypersurface of this Decade

Iconeye Magazine have posted a short story by Bruce Sterling online, called The Hypersurface Of This Decade. Well, it's more a vignette than a story but it's uber cool, summing up all the stuff that Sterling seems to have been into these last few years, including fabrication and renouncing possessions. Why own stuff when you can print it and throw it away? And to make it trendy there's a mention of Twitter and Facebook and Dopplr and Silicon Roundabout.

I love the writing but wish there was more story to it. But perhaps that story is Sterling's amazing Kiosk?
