While these services have been slow to take off in the U.S., they are rapidly displacing cash in countries as diverse as China, Kenya, and Sweden. In her book, Reimagining Money, ethnographer Sibel Kusimba offers a rich portrait of how this technology is changing the economic and social landscape of Kenya, which became the first country, in 2007, to use the mobile phone as a payment channel on a broad scale.
