TRIESTE NEXT AWARD, SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR. “L’ALGORITMO BIPEDE” (Egea)

Martina Ardizzi, ricercatrice di Medicina e Chirurgia Università di Parma, autrice di L’algoritmo bipede. L’avvincente storia di come mente, corpo e tecnologia evolvono insieme (Egea)

Nicla Panciera, giornalista scientifica

What happens to our brain when our hands begin to use a technology invented by our own mind? At Trieste Next, a fascinating journey through neuroscience, evolution and innovation reveals how we became human—and how we may already be becoming something else. With wit and lightness, Martina Ardizzi guides the audience through the deepest mechanisms of the mind, showing how every tool—from the first flint stone to today’s virtual headsets—is not just an external object, but a true extension of our thinking. The human brain, we discover, is not a closed organ but a dynamic system, constantly adapting to its environment by incorporating technologies, languages and new experiences.
