"The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised" tells the story of David, a self-taught investing and stock trading expert. He uses his knowledge to teach Black women in Harlem how to achieve financial independence despite the systemic barriers imposed by Wall Street.
To make his trading strategy lessons both engaging and accessible, he creates instructional YouTube videos that feature classic R&B music. David's website, ThePriceBandit.com, empowers women—who often face discrimination in society—to invest in AI stocks and fully benefit from the world's fourth industrial revolution. This AI revolution, expected to unfold over the next few years, represents a unique opportunity for informed investors to achieve financial stability; some of the more ambitious among them may even become millionaires.
As the story progresses, David develops a May-December relationship with Onyx, a professional Black woman who, tired of dating men her own age, finds comfort in a more mature partner. With David's growing following, he expands his operations to include an online stock trading platform, better serving his increasing network of students. His website has become transformative for many women across the country struggling financially due to circumstances beyond their control.
However, Wall Street is determined to maintain the status quo. Love and tragedy intertwine in the conclusion of this fictional tale, which is inspired by actual events. Despite the tragic occurrences, David's many followers ensure his legacy lives on. Their dedication, determination, and belief that financial independence should be a right, not a privilege, inspire them to advocate for economic equality worldwide.

Preface
This book, born from the fertile ground of Harlem’s resilience and the rhythmic pulse of classic R&B, is more than a fictional narrative; it’s a call to action. It’s a story inspired by the countless real-life struggles and triumphs of individuals working to overcome systemic inequalities within the financial landscape and their battle for economic justice. I have witnessed firsthand the disproportionate impact of these inequalities on Black women, who are consistently marginalized and underserved by traditional financial institutions.
Based on a true story, David’s journey resonates with the experiences of so many who have fought and continue to fight for a fairer financial system. The technological revolution, especially the rise of artificial intelligence, has presented unparalleled opportunities and significant challenges. This story delves into the complexities of this revolution, showcasing its potential for empowerment while also highlighting its capacity for exploitation and abuse. My hope is that this book will not only entertain but also educate and inspire. It aims to demystify the often-intimidating world of finance, particularly for those who have traditionally been excluded from its benefits. Through David’s online platform, ThePriceBandit.com, we explore the potential of technology to level the playing field and provide access to financial resources for all.
This book isn’t just about money; it explores the potential of resilience and the enduring human spirit. It’s a story about reclaiming narratives, challenging systems, and striving for a future where everyone has a fair shot at achieving economic impartiality. It demonstrates the power of community, the importance of mentorship, and the enduring commitment to social equality. May it ignite your passion for change and empower you to join the fight for financial equity. The rhythm of this narrative, much like the soul-stirring melodies of classic R&B, carries a potent message: we are stronger together, and our concerted voices can reshape a broken system.
