"Norman's book is admirably ambitious."
–Fast Company's Co.Design "Don Norman has worked in electrical engineering, cognitive psychology, computer science and design, in academia and industry. Now in his eighties, he draws on this experience to explain how designers, governments and industry must "broaden the notion of design from human centred to humanity centred". In other words, they must emphasize quality of life, not monetary rewards, and reject harmful economic metrics. Only thus, he argues, will we survive the current environmental and economic crises."
–Nature "Norman (founding dir., Design Lab, Univ. of California-San Diego;
Living with Complexity) looks out on a world beset by climate change, inequality, and unconscionable waste. Nonetheless, he is optimistic. He believes that humans can change what they've created. Design is the key, for it can mobilize systems to address the complex interface that technologies, policies, and people have."
