Quote by Bruce Sterling

I do have two data identities. I have my name, Bruce Sterling, which is my public name under which I write novels. I also have my other name, which is my legal name under which I own property and vote.

I do have two data identities. I have my name, Bruce Sterlin

Summary

In this quote, Bruce Sterling is highlighting the existence of his dual identitiesâ€”the public persona represented by his writer's pen name and the legal identity associated with his real name. While his public name allows him to engage in creative pursuits and establish a unique literary presence, his legal name is tied to his rights and responsibilities as a citizen, including owning property and voting. This distinction emphasizes how individuals can possess multiple facets of their identities that serve varying purposes in different spheres of life.
