520    "Presenting rigorous and original research, this volume 
       offers key insights into the historical, cultural, social,
       economic and political forces at play in the creation of 
       world-class ICT innovations in Kenya. Following the 
       arrival of fiber-optic cables in 2009, Digital Kenya 
       examines why the initial entrepreneurial spirit and 
       digital revolution has begun to falter despite support 
       from motivated entrepreneurs, international investors, 
       policy experts and others. Written by engaged scholars and
       professionals in the field, the book offers 15 eye-opening
       chapters and 14 one-on-one conversations with 
       entrepreneurs and investors to ask why establishing ICT 
       start-ups on a continental and global scale remains a 
       challenge on the "Silicon Savannah". The authors present 
       evidence-based recommendations to help Kenya to continue 
       producing globally impactful ICT innovations that improve 
       the lives of those still waiting on the side-lines, and to
       inspire other nations to do the same."--Amazon.com.
