The Psychology of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman
The author, a retired professor of cognitive science, is bothered to no end by the fact that grappling with unfriendly objects now takes up so many of our hours. Over the course of several books, of which this was the first, he has railed against bad design. He scrutinizes a range of artifacts. A well-designed object, he argues, is self-explanatory, but our present culture places a higher value on aesthetics than utility and many designers don't seem to consider what people actually do with things. You don't need to be especially interested in technological matters to enjoy Norman's arguments. The book's underlying question is aimed at a global audience: will the design of everyday things improve?
