Cybernetic Roman Tales presents itself as an ambitious and corrosive literary experiment: a collection of short narratives set in a recognizable Rome, yet profoundly transfigured by an unprecedented technological vein. The author, already known for his legal studies related to technology, translates his expertise into a narrative perspective, addressing -almost jokingly - "paradoxical" scenarios in which humans and machines fight, exchange roles, and blur the boundaries of human coexistence. Corasaniti intertwines the sacred and the profane: in its pages we meet cardinal nuns, priests and carabinieri, magistrates, lawyers and prisoners - ordinary figures transformed and pervaded by the restlessness and speed of technology.
