About the Author.

As a political geographer, Giuseppe Porcaro has been interested in how the intersection between technology and politics is moving towards uncharted territories in the future. During the writing of the novel he has published a series of scientific articles about how the internet of things and algorithms will change policymaking. He also focuses on narrative-building and representations of the European Union in global politics.

Disco Sour  is his first experiment with fiction and was inspired by a mission to Chile he had in 2013. Back then, he was Secretary General of the European Youth Forum, the platform for youth organisations advocating for youth rights. And on his way to Santiago, he missed three connecting flights across two continents within the span of 72 hours.

Giuseppe works as the head of outreach, governance and HR for Bruegel, an international think tank specialising in economic policy.
