This thesis is the travelogue of 100 laptops from OLPC ending up at a small Nigerian school. I call this school Akila's school and the laptops Akila's laptops after a primary 5 student named Akila, who transferred to the school because of the laptops. The thesis is based on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and a multi-sited, qualitative fieldwork conducted in both Denmark and Nigeria in the period 2009-2013.
