Synopsis

Are you tired of technology that's complicated and frustrating? Alan Cooper argues that the people building our tech, the engineers and programmers, have taken over, creating products that alienate users and hurt businesses. He calls for a revolution, demanding that technology be designed to work the way people actually think, not the other way around. This book offers a clear-eyed look at why so many software products fail and provides a roadmap for creating user-friendly innovations that users will love.
