Sterling lived for several years in Belgrade with Jasmina Tesanovic, his second wife, a Serbian author and filmmaker. In 2005, he became “visionary in residence” at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. In 2003, Sterling became a professor of internet studies and science fiction at The European Graduate School / EGS where he teaches intensive Summer seminars. In Latin, “vincit omnia veritas” means “truth conquers all things.” Sterling’s writings have been very influential in the cyberpunk movement in literature, specifically the novels The Artificial Kid (1980), Schismatrix (1985), Islands in the Net (1988), and Heavy Weather (1994). He did so under the surprising but revealing pen name of Vincent Omniaveritas. In the 1980s, Sterling published Cheap Truth, a series of fanzines, which are magazines for fans of a particular performer, group, or form of entertainment. However, he first started becoming well known by organizing an annual Christmas party in Austin where he would present digital art. A year later, his first book, Involution Ocean, was published. Sterling graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1976.
However, as a child he also spent a lot of time in India, which partly explains why Sterling is still fond of Bollywood movies.
