Early reviews from those who have already read the book
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
