Italian-American; I studied psychology, in particular criminology, after having read a book by R. Ressler when I was a young boy. I'm an avid reader. I occasionally write novels, short stories and articles in cyberpunk, Scifi and procedural fiction.

No rating

Reading this book is like undoing what has happened in the last few years. The word cyberspace did not even exist before Gibson invented it. And we still haven't seen all of it yet.
