first time in peace-time Britain, conscription was introduced as a
partial solution to Churchill's 'cold war' strategy. While the
majority of conscripts served their two-years within the UK or
Europe, a minority was sent to overseas locations, some to where
actual fighting was taking place. The author of this book was based
in Nigeria for most of his years of National Service, more
specifically at Yaba, a suburb of Lagos. This narrative, which took
place immediately after Nigerian independence from colonial rule,
is Corps officer, serving in the Royal Nigerian Army in newly
independent Nigeria. Apart from medical duties, he acquired a great
deal of information on the Atlantic slave trade, much of which was
centred on the Nigerian coast.
Over the last 30 years the internet has changed almost every moment
of our daily lives, from how we communicate, how we travel, to how
we find things. The next generation of the internet, called web3,
will completely disrupt how we come together to create products
& services, entertainment, financial services, our economies
and even governance structures. This book will help you understand
a history of where we've come from and map out what the future may
bring by covering how the Supply-side Revolution works and how it's
going to disrupt business, media, talent, capital and operations.
As a business leader you need to prepare for this change. It will
help you understand that no industry is immune to the impact of
web3 and how to predict what's coming with web4. If your business
is to prosper in this new economy it has to start working alongside
web3 in an on-chain/off-chain hybrid. Business-as-usual will not
disappear overnight but web3 has already created a
multi-billion-dollar alternative economy. Business leaders can
either ignore it, fight it or figure out how to integrate with it.
As an individual, whether an entrepreneur, creative, product
builder or operational talent, this book will support you in
future-proofing your career, ensuring you are developing the right
skills and strategy for a web3 future.
