Ruined by Design
Nearly everything we touch and interact with has been designed. While it's all working as intended, the consequences are increasingly dire. Ruined by Design: How Designers Destroyed the World, and What We Can Do to Fix It by Mike Monteiro is a challenge for designers to understand the repercussions of their choices and a guide to making better ones. From the combustion engine to Facebook's privacy settings, the book reminds us how much power designers really have, and how great a responsibility they bear to use it wisely.
