Federico Faggin is a physicist, entrepreneur, and inventor best known for designing the world’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. After a pioneering career in Silicon Valley, he turned his attention to the mystery of consciousness. In 2011, with his wife Elvia, he founded the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation to support scientific research into the nature of consciousness. His autobiography Silicon traces his journey from technology to metaphysics. Today, he advances a theory that places consciousness, not matter, as the foundation of reality, integrating science, experience, and the quest for self-knowledge.
