  • Holy Fire is a 1996 science fiction novel by cyberpunk writer Bruce Sterling. It was nominated for the British Science Fiction Award in 1996, and for both the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1997. Holy Fire is the story of an old woman who has gained a second youth—in a world in which radical life extension is available through highly intrusive technological means—and who has an ontological transformation as a result. It is considered one of the more literary cyberpunk novels of the 1990s, and has won a cult following among younger writers and futurists, especially those in the bright green camp.
  • Le Feu sacré est un roman de l'écrivain américain Bruce Sterling publié en 1996. L'auteur imagine une société future où le progrès technique et médical permet à l'homme de vivre 200 ans, si bien que capital et pouvoir politique sont aux mains de vieillards. Dans une telle situation, les jeunes, désespérant de l'avenir, se replient dans un monde parallèle. Ce récit d'anticipation est un clin d'œil au jeunisme qui caractérise aujourd'hui la plupart des sociétés occidentales.
