Summary note
"Africa is ready for lift-off. The multiple challenges of the continent have fast become the catalyst for innovation on an astounding level - forming new technologies, new infrastructure, new ways of doing things, and a new narrative. Africa is a continent full of creativity, energy, and change - and much of it is thanks to the miracle of the mobile phone. In "Disrupting Africa: The rise and rise of African innovation", Nnamdi Oranye looks at increasing innovation in Africa, showing how modern technology and digital payment services bring it all together to create a new kind of infrastructure the world has simply not expected. The African narrative is changing. Today's Africa is an exciting, creative continent, packed with amazing potential."--Publisher's description.
