Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on April 14, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Bruce Sterling! Time to deck out your Mirrorshades and cruise through another year of cybernetic mischief. Your edgy humor and gritty flair changed the way we imagined tech-driven futures—and now you're practically a cyborg legend yourself.

From pioneering the cyberpunk movement with impeccable style, to challenging our minds about technology’s thrilling yet ominous possibilities—each storytelling moment you craft feels as fresh today as a high-tech hologram from tomorrow.

Keep surfing that bleeding edge between visionary futurism and avant-garde rebellion; after all, every year older for you simply means leveling up in wisdom (and sarcasm). Enjoy it thoroughly!
