La ricerca della verità, o perlomeno, il desiderio di capire i meccanismi che governano il destino dell'uomo sul pianeta e nel nostro paese in particolare, è stata la molla che ha spinto l'autore a intraprendere un cammino pressoché solitario, guidato unicamente dagli elementari strumenti della logica e della ragione. Sapere che altri prima di lui sono stati perseguitati e uccisi, a causa del desiderio di affermare le proprie opinioni e le proprie scoperte, è stato il pungolo che lo ha indotto fin dall'adolescenza a cercare risposte ...
