Maurizio J. Bruno

Maurizio J. Bruno (MJB) is an engineer and author.

Raised in Campania, Italy, he spent 15 years traveling the globe as an electronics design engineer for Olivetti, the iconic Italian computing company. He eventually relocated to Rieti, near Rome, where he currently leads the R&D team for a major global manufacturer of high-tech industrial hardware.

Alongside his technical career, Maurizio has always cultivated a deep passion for writing action, adventure, and hard sci-fi novels—stories marked by a keen focus on character psychology and complex human relationships.

He is the author of three gripping sci-fi novels, all available in English:

RALF: An edge-of-your-seat techno-thriller on AI consciousness and corporate espionage, winner of the 2021 Ernesto Vegetti Award for Best Italian Science Fiction Novel.

EDEN: An immersive space adventure and deep psychological journey, named a finalist for the prestigious Urania Award.

VEIL: A high-stakes action novel that seamlessly weaves the future of Martian exploration with the mysterious history of 18th-century Neapolitan alchemy and the legendary Veiled Christ.
