The “$100 PC Project” from the MIT Media Lab Is Now a Book!

Let’s deliver $100 laptops to children around the world.
The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project, spearheaded by the MIT Media Lab, is now the subject of a book!
“The Learning Revolution: The ‘$100 Laptop’ Project from MIT That’s Changing the World”—
be sure to pick up a copy! I even wrote a recommendation for the back cover ♪

"A massive educational revolution project that captivated the world.
Yet this is not a story of success. It is the raw, unvarnished failure that gives rise to the next wave of change.
What OLPC demonstrates is the determination to keep shaping the future. This book is a message to everyone driving social change."
