Enrico Manfredi

Enrico Manfredi writes for curious minds of every age. With a background in mathematics and a career in innovation management, he approaches every book with the same question: how does this work, and how could it work better?

His research on democracy runs through much of his writing. In his essays, he examines the foundations of modern democratic systems and proposes concrete ideas to make them fairer and more effective; in his speculative fiction, the same research becomes stories that imagine what a better future could look like. A second line of novels explores neurodivergence and imagination, following characters whose different ways of seeing the world turn out to be their greatest strength. And under the Millelupetti imprint, he creates children's books that invite young readers to explore the world with wonder and a smile.

Enrico lives in Italy, where he divides his time between innovation projects, writing, and an endless supply of new ideas.
