📢 Modern, Broke, and Confused: A Beginner's Guide to Progress 📢

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: PROGRESS HAS BEEN EXPOSED! 🚨

Once upon a time, our ancestors lived in tight-knit communities, raised children together, and didn't spend half their lives paying off a house they'll finish owning just in time to die. Then, progress arrived, took one horrified look at everything, and said:

🔥 "No, no, no—this won't do." 🔥

Suddenly, we swapped animal skins for three-piece suits in the African heat. We abandoned self-sufficient families for broken homes and social grants. We traded wisdom from our elders for overpriced therapy and WiFi arguments.

And today? We have more degrees, more taxes, more rules... and somehow, more suffering.

📖 What This Book Will Teach You (That School Never Did):
✅ How colonialists convinced us that being sweaty in wool coats = sophistication.
✅ Why Eskom ensures that "modern technology" remains an optional feature.
✅ How democracy works (best when you don't ask too many questions).
✅ Why crime is the only industry with guaranteed job security.
✅ How "progress" made everything worse—and why we still defend it.

💡 Who Should Read This Book?

  • If you've ever wondered why people in Africa still wear suits while Europeans wear shorts, this book is for you.
  • If you've ever felt like modern life is a scam, this book is for you.
  • If you love dark humor, historical irony, and brutally honest truth bombs, this book is DEFINITELY for you.
  • 🛑 FINAL WARNING: This book may cause side effects such as uncontrollable laughter, existential crises, and a sudden urge to rethink everything you were taught about civilization.
