Of the three Bruce Sterling books I've read ("Involution Ocean",
"Schismatrix" and "Islands in the Net") I most enjoyed "Schismatrix". 
"Schismatrix" has a wonderfully rich setting, with humans of various
stripes ("Mechs" - mechanically augmented & "Shapers" - biologically
augmented) struggling for the future direction of humanity throughout the
solar system.  Bruce Sterling is also the major spokesman of the
"Cyberpunk" movement, the politics of which I won't begin to get into. 
His short fiction is well regarded, having been nominated for 12 Hugo &
Nebula awards (but never winning).  I'm looking forward to a collection
to come out in paperback.
