DESCRIPTION

Ascendancies: The Best of Bruce Sterling by Bruce Sterling
Polemicist, provocateur, futurist, 'visionary in residence', Bruce Sterling has been out there, personally sharpening the cutting edge of science fiction for more than thirty years.

From his first story "Man-Made Self" in 1976 to his latest "Kiosk" in 2007, Sterling has written science fiction that is fast-moving, sharply extrapolated, technologically literate, and as brilliant and coherent as a laser, as he himself once said of William Gibson. His "Shaper/Mechanist" stories were an essential part of the cyberpunk movement of the '80s, just as his "Leggy Starlitz" and "Chattanooga" stories wrangled the near future of the '90s better than anyone else. Whether writing about the deep future in Schismatrix or the deep present in Holy Fire, he has developed into the best science fiction writer working in the world today.

Born in Texas in 1954, Sterling has traveled the globe writing and working for The New York Times, Nature, Wired, Newsday, and a number of industrial design magazines. His short fiction has appeared in almost every major publication in the science fiction field. His novels include far future adventures Involution Ocean and The Artificial Kid, Schismatrix, John W. Campbell Memorial Award winner Islands in the Net, The Difference Engine, Heavy Weather, Holy Fire, Distraction, and The Zenith Angle.

    BINDING CONTRACT: By placing a bid on this item you are making a CONTRACT between you and the seller. Once you place a bid, you may not retract it. In some states, it is illegal to win an auction and not purchase the item. In other words, if you don't want to pay for it, don't bid on it!
    PROXY BIDDING FOR ALL BIDS: Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret. Auction Quests will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid by the current bid increment up until your maximum is reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit has been exceeded. If you have bid on this item before, your new bid must be greater than your previous bid.
    DETAILS FOR THE SELLER AND THE WINNER:

  • The sellers contact information and the winners contact information will not be disclosed until the seller has paid the Final Value fee.
  • The seller and the winner should contact each other within three business days to discuss the payment, shipping, and handling details.
  • The winner must pay the seller directly for the item and the seller must fulfill the winners order when payment terms are met.
  • Leave feedback for the other party once the seller has received the payment and the winner has received the merchandise.

    If the seller is unable to establish contact with the winner within 3 business days of the end of the auction, she/he may lose the place as the winner, and be at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder Alert, both of which can ultimately lead to your accounts suspension and or termination with Auction Quests - Online auction site | Bid buy sell. (Note: Once negative feedback is left, it can not, and will not, be removed!)
