This book revealed so many new perspectives to me.
My intro to Ajume was through someone I worked with who had him as a professor. Ajume was trying to solve Nso (Cameroon) internet connections using WiFi, I shared what I knew to him and we became friends.
He is a deep intellectual.

A rare sight from Kabobo Wildlife Reserve in DRC. This footage shows the Foa’s red colobus—the first ever of this Endangered species.
