I just spent 35 minutes watching Bruce Sterling sum up the ideas of his design manifesto, Shaping Things. Thank the Great Whatever, because Shaping Things has been sitting on my bookshelf for two years and I’ve been dying to know what it’s about. I don’t want to spoil a great talk, but suffice to say that Sterling debunks many sci-fi technological conventions (such as androids and cyberspace) as impractical, pointing out that they are better literary devices than real design solutions. Sterling calls for the creation of “spime,” a kind of sustainable hybrid object that is embedded within networks (within networks (within networks)).
