[NetBehaviour] Bruce Sterling / transmediale 2014 afterglow Opening Ceremony.

[marc garrett]

Hi Rob,

Yes, it did look as though was trying to correct his past mistakes, 
realising that by not questioning the neoliberal aspects of 
techno-capitalist culture, one is actually contributing to it…

wishing you well.

Worth noting that Sterling corrects some of his recent Morozovism in
that talk:

In particular, I was impressed by this speech because it corrected some
serious errors from Sterling's essay "The Ecuadorian Library," which, as
Danny O'Brien pointed out completely misattributed a kind of optimistic
naivete to technology activists past and present.
