Publisher Description
📢 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.
🎉 Now available wherever books are sold—or wherever someone is willing to trade it for cows. 🎉

About Salatiso Mdeni
First and foremost, I am a father to my son, with all else being a means to this end. As the only son of my parents and the eldest among my three sisters, I proudly assume the role of a father figure to my nephews and niece, as well as being a reliable provider for my entire family.
Growing up in rural Transkei, Eastern Cape, my life changed when my father passed away when I was 11. This loss compelled me to mature quickly, and with my mother's strength, I supported the family by age 20 after completing my National Diploma.
Understanding the importance of my family's success, I brought them from the Eastern Cape to Gauteng, transitioning from rural life to owning properties in Johannesburg. These choices provided better prospects for my mother, siblings, nephews, and son, Mila.
My educational journey began in rural Transkei, leading me through rustic schools before relocating to Mpumalanga, where I completed my Matric. Over the past two decades, I have expanded my knowledge in Risk Management across various industries. My formal studies provided a strong foundation, but my commitment to continuous learning has truly broadened my knowledge.
I am dedicated to pursuing practical solutions rooted in my experience and research, challenging conventional wisdom and evaluating outcomes based on real-life experiences. As an auditor and risk management professional, I have thrived in the corporate world, safeguarding my family from prevalent pitfalls.
My unwavering commitment to enhancing my skills stems from my dedication to being a father to my son and a provider for my family. After publishing my first book in 2023, I now explore and write about subjects that intrigue me.
