Frustrated with the way software is designed? Cooper’s approach to design, and his stress on the importance of an interaction designer is enlightening and edgy. He shows us the difference between building a Microsoft empire (one that could crash at any time) and building a successful sustainable one. I think every person involved with technology in any capacity should read this book. I highly recommend it.

And of course, I must admit a little bias, since I am an IxD practitioner myself. And I can’t wait until the day the whole world knows what the heck it is I do! And if you know what an interaction designer does, come find me at pashmina blog.
