Bruce Sterling's closing talk at Reboot -- life in the next decade

Notes:

dark euphoria
"it's like leaping into the unknown, falling into the earth but only that suddenly u realize there's no earth"

gothic hi-tech
"u'r steve jobs, brilliant innovation, u have to sneak to tennesse"

1. Sarkozy

"he is brilliant, poliethnic, etc... he has no ideology... doesnt care about political line.... sucked the air out of the political room... there's nothing to debate him... u can only wait until he changes his mind... he will eventually debate himself"

2. Obama

"chicago machine polician, he is a ethnicaly indeterminate community organizer with a massive fundraising machine... they have their gothic moments: HOPE... but as obama is removed from the room all hope is sucked out"

these are "People who position themselves in the narrative rather then building permanent infrastructures."
