The Global Lab: Inequality, Technology, and the Experimental Movement A. Fejerskov (2022) 224pp., £25 hardback, Oxford University Press, Oxford, ISBN 0198870272

In The Global Lab: Inequality, Technology, and the Experimental Movement, Adam Moe Fejerskov, senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, charts a global movement whose efforts have reframed the Global South as a laboratory for technological innovation. This movement has a varied collection of major protagonists – humanitarian organizations, developmental economists, philanthropic private foundations, technology companies in Silicon Valley, social innovation laboratories and pharmaceutical research companies – that each in their way prescribes or enacts the logic of experimentation and supports each other through shared philosophies, funding and opportunities.
