In some section, The Old Drift explores technology's impact on society through various futuristic elements, such as embedded chips called "Beads" that connect individuals to information networks, blurring the lines between human and machine. The narrative features innovations like drones and viral vaccines, reflecting Zambia's technological evolution while addressing contemporary issues like colonialism and health crises. 

In The Old Drift, drones and microdrones serve as symbols of technological advancement and surveillance, reflecting societal changes.

The Zambian space program, initiated by Edward Makuka Nkoloso in the 1960s, aimed to launch a rocket carrying 17-year-old Matha Mwambwa and two cats to the Moon.

   - Tell them they are wanted (Cialdini liking)

How will Ethiopia benefit from this trend? The most reliably predictable trend of the next 100 years: every year, humanity will use significantly more computing power than the previous year.

Someone at EIH should start an ETF based on that thesis (it's not just $NVDA and $AMD, it's cloud services, the data center industry, nuclear power...)
