Massimo Marino
A physicist turned novelist. A short, factual profile of the author of the Daimones Trilogy.
A scientist envisioning science fiction
As a boy he looked at the covers of the science fiction magazines his father and older brother read, and imagined the stories himself. Decades of research later, those stories came back.
The research years show in the books: deep time, genetics and large numbers are part of how the trilogy explains its catastrophe.

Apple and the World Economic Forum
Moved to the private sector in 2005, working with Apple and later the World Economic Forum.
