Una volta li, scoprira che il colloquio e solo un pretesto e sara l'inizio di un processo di consapevolezza che cambiera la sua vita per sempre. iMate e una storia di maternita negata e voluta a tutti i costi, dove le ultime tendenze tecnologiche cercano di rispondere alle ansie di un futuro prossimo molto simile al nostro.La storia, scritta a quattro mani da Francesco Verso e Francesco Mantovani, rappresenta non solo un omaggio alla serie Black Mirror ma anche un manifesto del loro modo di intendere la narrativa di speculazione, incentrata sull'osservazione di quei piccoli cambiamenti che preannunciano svolte epocali per l'umanita.

Il volume include un saggio di Maurizio Balistreri sul concetto d'immortalita da un punto di vista etico e filosofico. - - Janna travels to Naples for a mysterious job interview, searching for a way to pay for her partner Eskin's medical bills.

Once she arrives, she finds that the interview is but a pretense that initiates a process of awareness that will change her life forever. iMate is a story of motherhood denied and longed for at all costs, where the latest technological trends try to respond to the anxieties of a near-future very similar to ours.The story, a collaboration between Francesco Verso and Francesco Mantovani, represents not only a tribute to the Black Mirror series but also a manifesto of their way of understanding speculative fiction, focused on the observation of small changes that herald epochal transformations for humanity.The volume includes an essay by Maurizio Balistreri on the concept of immortality from an ethical and philosophical point of view.
