Over at Wired, Bruce Sterling responds to Lee Braver with the following:
I appreciate the helpful commentary here. I’m gonna make an effort to get my head around this stuff.
Perhaps a student workshop at the European Graduate School is in order. I keep threatening to go up there and teach them some philosophy, as opposed to whatever-it-is that I actually teach them.
Now that’s a course I’d definitely like to see… Especially since I’m so intrigued by the idea of speculative fiction.

Not comppletely devoid of wickedness thyself, Levi Bryant.
Total immersion, dmf. I loved it! This passage especially:
“Last night, the small candle I had lit before leaving for Naropa did not go out. A small red candle in the shape of a lotus flower. It did not go out for fourteen hours. It did not go out when I came home at night from Lynn, who was one of the most lovely, true souls I have ever encountered but never, in all this North American time, ever spoke to.”
