Whether I’m talking about Information Engineering, Philosophy of Science, or the Epistemology of the Human Sciences, I move between rigorous analysis and plain-spoken communication. Over more than three decades as a journalist and public educator, I’ve turned complex ideas into accessible arguments, lately focusing on how technological change reshapes culture—privacy and digital medicine, the ethics of AI and biotechnology, and the institutions that govern them. I’ve written for outlets such as Wired, Agenda Digitale, Infomedia, Punto Informatico, Medium, Apogeo, and MC Microcomputer; I directed DEV and Linux Magazine; I founded and edited “Login – Save Internet Wealth”; and I’ve contributed to Radio Linux and Radio Radicale. Along the way I’ve published hundreds of technical articles, a volume on the SCO vs. Linux case, and the Hermes Guide to Digital Voting, returning again and again to questions of transparency in decision-making, the defense of peer-to-peer practices, and the risks posed by electronic voting.
