Life

Bonsembiante was born in Buenos Aires, 28 May 1966.

During the 80s, Bonsembiante has organized underground rock music parties at his house on Castelar Centro. His parties were called "Dragón Verde", and inspired the creation of the homonymous rock band.

Bonsembiante was also a hacker, but he was better known for writing about it, and not for his technical skills. He has written extensively about the subject, and was the editor-in-chief of the Virus Report. The magazine was published between 1993 and 1995 and covered real underground stories about hackers.

Bonsembiante died in Buenos Aires on 8 July 2015 from a heart attack. He was burried on the 11th at the Morón cemetery.

He was also known for writing sci-fi. His firsts texts about fiction were published at the Feria del Libro Independiente Autogestiva, and later he has written for Axxon and Neuromante INC.
