He's definitely opinionated and comes across as the techno-utopian as a first impression. I wasn't convinced of his ideas and directions at first when I heard him speak in Torino last year (my write-up of the talk is on my blog at http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives//bruce_sterling_circolo_dei_lettori.html); however, I think there's a strong environmental streak running through him too. I think his aim a bit off, but he is pointed in the right direction. How are you finding the Well? I've wondered whether or not to join before now, but most of the time I've heard it talked about it was for its influence in the early days of the Internet. Is it still a vibrant community now?
