Mr. Santini declares: “The Alpha Centauri Project – Thinking worlds took me three years. I started to dream about it many years before, when still a teen-ager, I was missing a SF work permeated with History, Philosophy and Science... Finally I wrote down this novel.”
Diego Della Palma, a prestigious fashion expert, opinion leader and successful author, comments in his preface to the Italian edition : “The Alpha Centauri project, … for Marco Santini’s ability to carry the reader into other worlds, to make him see these feasible views, has made me "feel" a quivering. I could draw these situations in perspective and appreciate these themes unthinkable for me.”
Mr. Santini adds: “Brain emulation, mind uploading and artificial intelligences are theme of hard science fiction. In this novel they become opportunities for investigating human existence, powerful tools to understand Man’s values and fragility. Because only when this comprehension has been achieved, it is possible to choose responsibly among the many opportunities that technology is going to offer …”
