Being blocked by a Sars Co-V in 2021. Very old discounted science-fiction. Like a pre-Philip Dick, hilarious and stupid nightmare.
What should we be reading?
Gianna Manzini, Ritratto in Piedi, 1971. Don’t you think it is a very promising title?

Like Irene Brin she had a more frivolous side and signed as Pamela or Vanessa a great fashion column on Leo Longanesi’s Oggi magazine.

Contemporary art, hares and rabbits in any material, style and size, objects and gadgets of any kind, then tamagotchis and robots, any kind of artificial intelligence.
