AMAZON BEST BOOKS OF 2019 PICK
FORTUNE WRITERS AND EDITORS' RECOMMENDED BOOKS OF 2019 PICK User Friendly is a tour de force, an engrossing fusion of scholarly research, professional experience and revelations from intrepid firsthand reporting.--EDWARD TENNER, The New York Times Book Review In User Friendly, Cliff Kuang and Robert Fabricant reveal the untold story of a paradigm that quietly rules our modern lives: the assumption that machines should anticipate what we need. Spanning over a century of sweeping changes, from women's rights to the Great Depression to World War II to the rise of the digital era, this book unpacks the ways in which the world has been--and continues to be--remade according to the principles of the once-obscure discipline of user-experience design. In this essential text, Kuang and Fabricant map the hidden rules of the designed world and shed light on how those rules have caused our world to change--an underappreciated but essential history that's pieced together for the first time. Combining the expertise and insight of a leading journalist and a pioneering designer, User Friendly provides a definitive, thoughtful, and practical perspective on a topic that has rapidly gone from arcane to urgent to inescapable. In User Friendly, Kuang and Fabricant tell the whole story for the first time--and you'll never interact with technology the same way again.

Highly recommend this product
Color: Brown, Size: 5 Panel
This room divider is perfect. It is sturdy and looks high quality. No assembly required. Easy to move and is quite large and exactly what I needed for privacy when guests stay over.

Pretty
Color: Brown, Size: 4 Panel
It’s well-made and pretty, but you can see right through it. Light comes right through it.. We wanted to use it to block light.

I was looking for something that wasn’t your basic Japanese style black and white cardboard room divider and this checked all my boxes. It looks very nice and stands out without being obnoxious.
