In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" esploriamo le rivoluzionarie tesi di Federico Faggin nel suo libro "Irriducibile".Faggin non è solo l'inventore del microprocessore e pioniere della Silicon Valley: è un pensatore che ha osato sfidare il riduzionismo dominante nella scienza contemporanea.
