La carrera de Sterling incluye roles como periodista, crítico y editor colaborador en Wired magazine, una posición que ha ocupado desde su inicio en 1999. Su escritura ha aparecido en numerosas publicaciones, incluyendo ABC's Nightline, BBC's The Late Show, CBC's Morningside, en MTV y TechTV, y en Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, el New York Times, Fortune, Nature, I.D., Metropolis, Technology Review, Der Spiegel, La Stampa y La Repubblica. También ha ocupado prestigiosos cargos como "Visionary in Residence" en el Art Center College of Design en Pasadena y el Sandberg Instituut en Ámsterdam, y Guest Curator para el Share Festival of Digital Art and Culture en Torino, Italia. Sus contribuciones a las worldds de la ciencia ficción y el periodismo han sido significativas y de gran alcance.
