Preface by Brandy Lellou, Director of Infrastructure - DreamAfrica Consulting

This book tells a long overdue and timeless story of the rise of mankind in Africa, uncovers inventions and innovations across the continent throughout time, and paints a forecast of its digital revolution in the 21st century and beyond. For too long the birthplaces of “the world’s religions” have been revered with annual pilgrimages, holidays and stories that have stood the test of time. However, the birthplace of humankind has been forgotten; lost in the history books, souls, and celebrations of modern-day Homo Sapiens. Through interviews with prominent African figures and the most recent research and insights from archeologists, scientists, and historians, hear the long overdue and timeless tale, The Last Digital Frontier: The History and Future of Science and Technology in Africa as told by ASINGIA and other African voices.

The Last Digital Frontier is divided into four parts that take readers on a journey through Africa. From the dawn of mankind’s internal awareness (IA) to the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and beyond, each part explores a wave of development, discovery, infrastructure, technology and science. The book provides a compelling historic and forward-looking exploration of “the last digital frontier” of access and inclusion, Africa, and its potential to lead, host, and create the innovation breakthroughs of the future.
