Recensioner i media

‘This provocative volume provides a whole new lens for understanding the potential of technology to redefine the future of Africa. The contributors provide a perspective that is both realistic and holistic, particularly in reflecting the social, economic, cultural, and political challenges facing the continent. They approach technological leapfrogging not as a silver bullet, but as a catalyst that, if managed appropriately, can have cross-sectoral benefits and produce sustainable economic development.’
