What Readers Say

Early reviews from those who have already read the book

Roberto Sconocchini

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I read Generation 80 by Biagio Alagna, friend and colleague. A dive into digital memory: first modems, mechanical keyboards (I tinkered with a Spectrum). He tells past and present technology with a direct, human style. Recommended for teachers and the curious: the future is also in the stories of those who use technology with heart."

Sara_Benassi65

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Finally a memoir that speaks my language! As a programmer born in the 80s, I recognized myself in every page. It's a book that everyone who works in tech should read to understand where we come from."

Alessandro_1982

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"An engaging read that goes beyond simple technological nostalgia. The author offers deep insights into how technology has influenced not only work, but also relationships and the identity of a generation."

Nithaiah - Retro Magazine

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The text is a romantic tale with a direct yet never anachronistic style. It's truly full of life. There's something intimate about it, not just numbers."

Luca1980

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Reading it was like rewinding the tape of my life. From arcades to smartphones, every chapter a dive into the past. Only 4 stars because I would have liked more vintage photos!"

Paolo Veronesi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Like a floppy disk containing the soul of an era, these pages preserve the magic of the digital '80s. The author writes with the nostalgia of a programmer and the grace of a poet, transforming chips and bytes into existential metaphors."
