Utopian Realism, a speech by Bruce Sterling

This is a great read, especially for anyone who’s spent time in Turin

A basic Turinese problem here is that Torino is progressive, but a heritage tourist industry, which is very attractive to tourists, has no avant-garde. Their stifling interest in your past holds you back. You can’t do “futuristic heritage industry.” Why? Because you can’t move forward into the past.
