Sterling, Bruce: Crystal Express. 02989
Arkham House: Sauk City, Wisconsin. 1989.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Shaper/Mechanist series of short stories: 264 pages.
''in SCHISMATRIX (1985), a 1-vol future history of the interplanetary expansion and transformation of the human race, he exchanges the fantastic exorbitance of his earlier work for a hard-edged and highly detailed realism closely informed by scientific speculation and extrapolation. Linked with Schismatrix is the Shaper/Mechanist series of short stories included in CRYSTAL EXPRESS (coll 1989), about a spacefaring post-humanity divided into two factions, the Shapers, who favour bio-engineering, and the Mechanists, who prefer prosthetics. The collection contains some of Sterling's best and most fully realized work; he has called it ''my favourite among my books''. Stories not connected to the sequence have been assembled as Globalhead (coll 1992)'' (Colin Greenland/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new).

Sterling, Bruce: Heavy Weather. 19326
Bantam Spectra: NY. 1994.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''Sterling is one of the most globally minded of North American sf writers, seeing civilization as an intricate and unstable mechanism, and pitting the search for equilibrium against our insatiable demands for knowledge and power; such concerns centrally govern the plot of Heavy Weather (1994), set early in the 21st century at a point when the ecological degradation of the planet has generated storm systems of unprecedented ferocity. His main interest continues to be the behaviour of societies rather than individuals, and the perfection of sf as a vehicle for scientific education and political debate'' (Colin Greenland/Encyclopedia of SF).

Sterling, Bruce: Holy Fire. 02838
Millenium: London. 1996.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Preceded the U.S. Bantam edition by three months. Hugo Award finalist for best novel.
''at the end of the twenty-first century the world is dominated by a medical-industrial complex devoted to life-extension technology. Those who don't abide by the rules don't get access to the more expensive treatments and, having survived plagues in the first half of the century, a cautious gerontocratic elite run things largely benevolently, but also rather boringly. When ninety-four year old Mia Ziemann, a respectable medical economist, undergoes a novel treatment which gives her the body and brain of a twenty year-old, she breaks loose. Going underground in the avant-garde circles of central Europe, she attempts to find liberation and fulfillment in art'' (Danny Yee, 2001).

Gibson, William (& Bruce Sterling): The Difference Engine. 04551
Victor Gollancz: London. 1990.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
SF (''steampunk'') novel.
''an alternate-world, steampunk novel in which the successful development of Charles Babbage's mechanical computer in 1821 has produced a world divided between France and an 1850s UK ruled by a radical technocracy under Lord Byron; this UK is depicted as a dystopia whose visual squalor seems to reflect the influence of Charles DickenS's apocalyptic vision of an industrialized land. And worse is to come: the eponymous computer is clearly en route to becoming an AI, and may end up ruling the world'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
