Naples – Marco Ilardi is not only a well-known name in Naples' entrepreneurial scene for his contributions to software development, but he is also an original thinker and an author capable of captivating audiences with his ever-new and stimulating ideas. His latest book, " When the World Was Without WiFi ," is no exception, taking readers on a journey back in time to the days before the internet was a part of our daily lives.
A Dip into the Past with Contemporary Eyes
Marco Ilardi's third book explores the 80s and 90s through the eyes of those who lived through that reality, describing how people interacted, worked and had fun without the global network uniting (and sometimes dividing) the world.
Through personal stories and in-depth observations, the Neapolitan author offers not only a window into a different world, but also a reflection on how technology has transformed society.
The Impact of Technology According to Ilardi
Throughout the book, Ilardi, who has always embraced technology in his work, doesn't limit himself to mere nostalgia for the past. Rather, he draws on his experience as a software developer and member of the Forbes Inner Circle for blockchain to discuss the implications of these technologies for modern life. The final chapter, a thought exercise on what would happen if the world woke up tomorrow without the internet, is a genuine invitation to reflect on our dependence on digital technologies.
An Invitation to Reflect and Act
“When the World Was Without WiFi” is more than a book; it is an invitation to examine and, perhaps, reconsider our relationship with technology. Ilardi invites his readers, especially Neapolitans and young people who have grown up in the digital age, not to take for granted the connected world they live in and to discover the roots of a society that was just as rich, if not richer, in relationships and culture.
The book is available for purchase in local and online bookstores, representing an opportunity for readers in Naples and throughout Italy to discover or rediscover a period of our recent history that has much to teach us about the present and the future.
Marco Ilardi continues to demonstrate that Naples is not only a city of great history and culture, but also a place of innovation and critical reflection on the modern world.
With “When the World Was Without WiFi,” the Neapolitan entrepreneur confirms his reputation as an original and captivating thinker, capable of uniting past and present in an engaging and deeply human narrative.

I read Marco Ilardi's latest book and it seems interesting, but I noticed that nostalgia for the past is not always positive. We must also consider the negative aspects and how technology can improve our lives.
