there has been an increased interest and also need to investigate entrepreneurial work outside of well-researched domains. We have taken up the issue and compiled an edited volume that has now been published as part of the Palgrave Studies of Entrepreneurship in Africa series called *Digital Kenya: An Entrepreneurial Revolution in the Making*. This book is now available as an open access digital download <http://download.springer.com/static/pdf/884/bok%253A978-1-137-57878-5.pdf?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Flink.springer.com%2Fbook%2F10.1057%2F978-1-137-57878-5&token2=exp=1481644416~acl=%2Fstatic%2Fpdf%2F884%2Fbok%25253A978-1-137-57878-5.pdf%3ForiginUrl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flink.springer.com%252Fbook%252F10.1057%252F978-1-137-57878-5*~hmac=734ba400a9d9523788ee2fd8bac39dd46a863c61fb6827376bec683fada4d70e> and in print <http://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137578808> and is the first of its kind to offer key insights into a single African country’s technology story. Across 15 chapters and 14 one-on-one interviews, *Digital Kenya* asks why establishing ICT start-ups on a continental and global scale remains a challenge and looks at what powers the globally celebrated Kenyan success stories of the likes of the iHub , BRCK , M-Pesa and M-Kopa, all of whom have been instrumental in playing out Kenya’s tech narrative on an international stage. Some of the reactions to *Digital Kenya* come from… *Garry Bruton*, Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University: “Scholars focused on entrepreneurship, corporate strategy in emerging markets, digital business, or Africa need to take advantage of this significant book and the great insights it provides.” *Bob Collymore, CEO Safaricom:* “…an essential guide to the new African narrative.” *Calestous Juma, Harvard Kennedy School*: “…a rich source of lessons for other African countries and beyond.” Open access digital download can be found here: www.tinyurl.com/DigitalKenya-free The print version can be purchased here: www.tinyurl.com/DigitalKenya I hope you will enjoy the read!
