Deep Eddy by Douglas Adams:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"Bruce Sterling's latest collection, Globalhead (Mark Zeising Books 1992), contains four stories first published in Asimov's. His most recent book is The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier. a nonfiction work about computer crime and civil liberties, but he has now put true-crime journalism aside. Mr. Sterling is hard at work on a new science fiction novel and properly grateful for the opportunity."
