Hi all I was moved positively by the book "Africa’s Journey to Industry 4.0" I thought I'd say this about it. It is an exceptional and deeply important book that deserves to be widely read. This is the sort of book—a treasure of historical context, empowerment, and immeasurable insight—that should be firmly lifted up, read, discussed, explored, and accepted as accurate human history; every single word and image presents a “wow” and “aha” moment, and this book glows brightly, almost blindingly, as a beacon of light and knowledge that deserves to be placed directly and proudly into the hands of newer generations.

In Africa’s Journey to Industry 4.0, Mike masterfully connects the story of human innovation from its earliest beginnings in Africa through to the rapidly evolving technologies shaping our world today. The book shines a light on the remarkable achievements of African and Black scientists, inventors, and innovators whose contributions have too often been overlooked, whilst also helping readers understand the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and other emerging technologies.

I have personally learned so much from this incredibly gifted, generous in wisdom, and insightful human being who I can also call a friend. His depth of knowledge about the technological age and what is to come is truly extraordinary, almost otherworldly! Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to share your outstanding knowledge, research, findings ans presenting this truthful narrative with us.

This is another one of your enthralling books that I am beyond proud to hold in my hands and equally proud to place in the hands of my five-year-old son and his young cousins, so that during these formative years of their neuroplastic development he can learn what his ancestors accomplished and how they helped shape human civilisation throughout the technological and industrial age as we know it!

A highly recommended and important contribution to the conversation about history, technology, identity, and progress.

It has to get a ★★★★★ rating.
