PDF-[READ]-We Are Not Users: Dialogues, Diversity, and Design (The MIT Press)

A call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material worldWe live in a material world of designed artifacts both digital and analog We think of ourselves as users the platforms devices or objects provide a service that we can use But is this really the case We Are Not Users argues that people cannot be reduced to the entity called user we are not homogenous but diverse That buzz of dissonance that we hear reflects the difficulty of condensing our diversity into one size fits all This book proposes that a new understanding of design could resolve that dissonance and issues a call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world The authors envision designing as a dialogue simultaneously about the individual and the socialan act enriched by diversity of both disciplines and perspectivesThe book presents the building blocks of a language that can conceive designing in all its richness with relevance for both theory and practice It introduces a theoretical model terminology examples and a framework for bringing together the social cultural and political aspects of designing It will be essential reading for design theorists and for designers in areas ranging from architecture to software design and policymaking.

Science should be on our daily conversation menu, along with topics like politics, books, sports, or the latest prestige cable drama. Conversations about science, he tells us, shouldn\'t be left to the experts. In The Dialogues, Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form--written and drawn by Johnson--about the nature of the universe. The conversations take place all over the world, in museums, on trains, in restaurants, in what may or may not be Freud\'s favorite coffeehouse. The conversationalists are men, women, children, experts, and amateur science buffs. The topics of their conversations range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory. The graphic form is especially suited for physics one drawing can show what it would take many words to explain.In the first conversation, a couple meets at a costume party they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesn\'t use them to fight crime but to do more science, and they discuss what it means to have a beautiful equation in science. Their conversation spills into another chapter (Hold on, you haven\'t told me about light yet), and in a third chapter they exchange phone numbers. Another couple meets on a train and discusses immortality, time, black holes, and religion. A brother and sister experiment with a grain of rice. Two women sit in a sunny courtyard and discuss the multiverse, quantum gravity, and the anthropic principle. After reading these conversations, we are ready to start our own. It’s no secret that this world we live in can be pretty stressful sometimes. If you find yourself feeling out-of-sorts, pick up a book.According to a recent study, reading can significantly reduce stress levels. In as little as six minutes, you can reduce your stress levels by 68%.
