Bruce Sterling Returns to SXSW on Monday, March 16

Longtime SXSW registrants remember the years when science fiction writer Bruce Sterling would invite attendees to his Tuesday night house party, thereby drawing hundreds of geeks to his fashionable residence in north central Austin. The neighbors are certainly glad that these evening get-togethers ended about five years ago (the gatherings got too big and too noisy). Nonetheless, we are happy to report that the tradition of Sterling talking about the state of the technology industry at SXSW Interactive lives on. Hear this year's speech on Monday afternoon, March 16. And be sure to get to the room early -- his presentations are typically one of the most popular aspects of the event.
