Roberta Giulia Amidani
Futurist (writer): a biological intelligence innovating the word with words
SINCE 2013
Who is this lady?
“Language was invented to serve certain very specific purposes.” David Foster Wallace
I am Roberta Giulia Amidani, class of 1976, the third daughter of Emma and Flaviano, sister of Marisa and Cecilia Jones, mother of Giovanni, wife of Davide, companion of a cat and a wolf-dog.
I am a monomaniacal aesthete of language invented to serve certain specific purposes*.
In 2013, I founded loscrittorefantasma.com and, since then, to feed the world and make it happy, I study and write. All day long. Every day. Almost always on assignment. Often in the shadows.
Since 2019 I have been one of the Sides of LATO, a Benefit company that helps companies design a better, more open and sustainable, safer, happier future by guiding them in innovation.
Who I am and what I do
- I am a FUTURIST: a biological intelligence that is trying to make the world a better place with words.
- I help people turn their ideas into projects and their projects into prototypes to be tested.
- As a (book) designer, ghostwriter, and/or editor, I have worked on more than 145 books in less than 11 years.
- I use scientific formulas, instructions, and rigorous procedures to achieve the best results.
- I use progress – including AI – to progress as a human being.
- I am always willing to challenge my certainties.
What I believe in
- I believe in relationships, connections, and human complexity.
- I believe in science, relativity, and statistics. Occasionally I also believe in magic.
- I believe in the power of stories as the engine of human innovation. Good stories, well told, are the engine of our growth as human beings and as a species.
- I believe in the surface as a mirror of the deep, and in form as a medium of substance.
- I am always happy to change my mind.
- I always believe in kindness.
