Interfaces and us : user-experience design and the making of the computable subject / Zachary Kaiser.

Kaiser, Zachary, (author.).

Summary:

"When society relies on computer models and their interfaces to explain and predict everything from love to geo-political conflicts, our own behavior and choices are artificially changed. Using interdisciplinary research techniques, Zachary Kaiser explores the harmful social consequences of this idea - balanced against speed and ease for the user - and proposes how user experience, interaction and graphic design practice and education can respond positively"-- Provided by publisher.
