Michele Balbi has spent years working in technology, business and digital transformation. He writes about artificial intelligence with the eyes of someone who sits in boardrooms and walks the factory floor: strategy and matter belong together, especially now that AI has stopped being only a thought and has begun to touch things. He is the author of the MAPPE DEL POTERE series: "Beyond the Pillars of Hercules", "The Era of Agents" and "When AI Touches Things". In his novel "Questa non è più casa tua" the same themes become a thriller: Trieste, Brussels, a boat and five offline agents. He reads technology and power through old stories - the Backfire, the Ring of Gyges, the Ship of Theseus - convinced they are still the best instrument for understanding new machines. He writes to receive answers as much as to offer them: the questions in his books come from the people he meets in meeting rooms and on factory floors.
