Now showing at the bottom of this post is Mr. Sterling’s extraordinary presentation from the recent LIFT conference in Geneva, on 2008.

He takes on Microsoft; “Gates left because it was so boring!”

According to Sterling- Carla Bruni is the phenom that is defining our future.

Sterling suggests Carla’s relationship with Nicholas Sarkozy is the product of an internet policy decision, the most interesting story there is and something no one could have predicted.  Sterling declares Bruni to be a Black Swan; a random, unexpected event that changes everything.

He goes onto create a series of 4 futurist scenarios for Bruni/Sarkozy based on the axes of ambition and publicity.

Funny stuff.
