I Robotici T5

I ROBOTICS T5 is a novel by Fabrizio Vecchi (L'Altracittà Media & Arti publisher; ISBN 9791280143112).
Set in 1929, it follows the ups and downs of a family immersed in the fascist dictatorship. Rodolfo Serrao, the head of the family, is a robotic engineer who faces his own conscience: he is completing the construction of an immense automaton which, inevitably, will be used by fascism as a weapon of mass destruction and he cannot tolerate this.
So he will involve his relatives in a daring adventure that will change the fate of everything.
The book is a truthful insight into the era, with numerous references to the culture of the 1920s and 1930s (cinema, literature, psychoanalysis, art and current events) and continuous references to our contemporary society.
Through a compelling and romantic narrative, the plot addresses the ethical theme of Modernity: an association between robotics, innovation and technology that can lead to unexpected lands, transforming Men into androids.
