2026: My new book, Il lavoro senza di noi (Work Without Us), is out with Tlon. It is about machines, the end of trades and universal basic income, and about what becomes of work, and of us, once working turns optional. I put a lot of myself into it 🙂

2023: The Italian Consulate in Taipei (Taiwan) invites me to preview my new book at the conference “AI and Ghosts“, on the relationship between Calvino and Artificial Intelligence, exactly one hundred years after the birth of the Italian writer I love.
