Vincent Tijms reviewed Terra Firma Triptych by J. M. Ledgard
Review of 'Terra Firma Triptych' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A triptych indeed: Ledgard shows his love for and knowledge about the African continent in three different ways, tying together fiction, anecdote, journalism and political vision. His proposal to build an aerial railroad of autonomous robots is spectacular and inspiring, especially if considered in the historical context of infrastructure shaping nations and economies. Moreover, he clearly considers African ecology in his vision, revealing a 21st century take on innovation.
This work is just as much a book of ideas as it is literature. Submergence already revealed Ledgard to me as an intelligent, skillful writer, but Terra Firma Tryptich proves he is a good thinker, too.
