Abstract
One Laptop Per Child started out with a very ambitious mission: to provide more information and better education to the world’s poor via an inexpensive laptop. This book tells not only the story of this pioneering project, but also puts the lessons into perspective for future social entrepreneurs. Cole Armstrong finds that the book provides an interesting account of a successful social enterprise, but fails to describe how the XO laptop has achieved its purpose in delivering a new style of learning in the developing nations in which it works.
