dc.description.abstract Developed economies in the Global North have been digitally connected long time ago, while the poorest and economically marginalized ones in the Global South have not joined the digital networks until recently. Consequently, contribution of the new technologies to poverty reduction especially within poor countries in the Global South remains relatively unknown. This book is a nice piece of work, it has contributed new knowledge on understanding of the digital technologies and digitized modes of communication both in the Global North and in the Global South. The main weakness of this book is its failure to discuss negative consequences of the new digital technology. Issues ranging from spread of terrorist activities and cyber-crime incidences to xenophobic violence in South Africa and racist attacks in football. This book review is very important as it helps readers decide whether or not to read the book. This review identifies the main theme of the book and highlights on author's style, approach and then offers an overall evaluation. en_US
