Abstract
Contemporary science has become increasingly specialized, developing its own languages for each sector, thus complicating the dialogue between different disciplines and contributing to the gap between the so-called “two cultures”. On the other hand, the most profound social, economic and behavioral changes that are affecting our era come precisely from scientific progress and from the intersection between different cultural approaches. This underscores the importance of being able to popularize science by narrating it with a literary approach, an area in which Primo Levi remains an unrivaled master. Through four stories published by Levi in the collections Storie Naturali (1966) and Vizio di Forma (1971), we retrace some acute premonitions of how scientific and technological development would soon reach levels that would raise important ethical and social questions and how his visions have been punctually realized. A wonderful example of contamination between science and literature.
