The book offers a review of the process of digital transformation the world is going through. It discusses the present and future of the 4IR and how a variety of evolving technologies can and will have a significant impact on economies, societies and citizens. The book challenges nations to prepare for 4IR, asking them to focus on the needs of their society leading to a future of sustainable, mindful economic growth on a global playing field, and how these, if rightly utilized, might contribute to a better world where nations are seen as collaborators rather than adversaries.

Dinis Guarda and Rais Hussin highlight from the new book, 4IR: AI, Blockchain, Fintech. Reinventing a Nation:

“The most important question a nation has to answer is whether it has crafted the right narrative and value for its citizens. Most would agree that the best value creation is about growing the economy in a sustainable way, managing a balanced and inclusive society, making sure there are enough jobs and wellbeing for all its citizens, and that the country overall is fostering positive social impact and stability. This is complicated in the present world though. We live in a new world that is changing at a velocity that has never been witnessed in human history, driven by the 4.0 industry revolution (4IR) and its disruptive technologies.”
