Editorial Reviews

Time

Provocative.

|Los Angeles Times

Makes a strong case for the needlessness of badly conceived and badly designed everyday objects…This book may herald the beginning of a change in user habits and expectations, a change that manufacturers would be obliged to respond to. Button pushers of the world, unite.”

From the Publisher

"Provocative." ---Time
