A timely call to reshape government through technology, from Nandan
Nilekani and Viral Shah, two leading experts in the field. For many
aspects of how our countries are run - from social security and
fair elections to communication, infrastructure and the rule of law
- technology can play an increasingly positive, revolutionary role.
In India, for example, where many underprivileged citizens are
invisible to the state, a unique national identity system is being
implemented for the first time, which will help strengthen social
security. And throughout the world, technology is essential in the
transition to clean energy. This book, based on the authors'
collective experiences working with government, argues that
technology can reshape our lives, in both the developing and
developed world, and shows how this can be achieved. Praise for
