Rebooting India - Nandan Nilekani

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.
