MY LIFE AS A WRITER
my biography
ABOUT ME
I am a writer of fiction and non-fiction, a science communicator, an Artificial Intelligence engineer, a futurist, and a digital innovation professional. I write fiction and non-fiction books, and I’m also working with private and public organizations to reimagine business and democratic institutions in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I view the arts, the humanities, the natural sciences and engineering not as discrete disciplines but as a continuum, a wonderful canvas continuously enriched by human creativity and imagination. In this website I would like to share with you my thoughts, books, plays, poems, music, and ideas about the future.
