Visionary in Residence, Sterling. No. This was quite a struggle for me to finish. I usually enjoy Sterling’s work, and I did enjoy the final two stories in this collection, but the rest, by and large, made me think that he was taking the title of the collection (which is also, I believe, his job title where he’s a visiting professor of design or some such) far too seriously. I really don’t care how smart you are, or how smart you think I am, just use the right words in the right order. Almost no one is good enough to show off and get it right.
