Odio

This is the story of Marco De Sanctis, a brilliant and definitely non-conformist narrator. Marco is an intelligent and ambitious young man, with an apparently useless humanist education, who tries to navigate the world of politics and media in Rome – a city that seems to be the outpost of an old, earlier age – and who, after finding and losing love, ends up building a career in the tech-world, in one of the few areas that offer great opportunities for millennials: the trade of personal data.

When he starts up his own tech-firm, BEFORE, a Big Data company rapidly attracting international investors thanks to a mysterious, revolutionary and invaluable biometric device, Marco doesn’t fully realize where this path will take him and at what cost the success will come… in a meritocratic but ruthless world, made of easy money, amoral and greedy mentors, online and real tribes, magical thinking and very real violence.
