"Jon has made a reflective, insightful, and powerful exploration of interactive design in this book, bringing a very appealing point of view to the entire field and setting up a declaration of the designer's credibility, it depicts a deep vision of the interactive design field. In the future, when we review the development process of interaction design as an independent discipline, we will find that this book is the best choice for building a foundation ."
-Steve Baty, head of MELD Studios

"Jon is an important voice driving the development of the interactive design field. In this book, he elaborated in detail the core quality of interaction design and the role that interaction design may play, far beyond the level of preaching user interface design. If you are interested in creating the future, solving big problems, and creating items and systems that can stimulate human potential, let this book confuse you and learn how interactive design practices can help you ."
-David Cronin, design director of GE's user experience center, co-author of "about face 3rd edition (essence of interaction design )"

"With a strong point of view and in-depth thinking in the book, Jon kolko has pushed the interpretation and analysis of interactive design to a new height. Kolko proved to us that interaction design can impact all aspects of our lives. The tools and means of interaction design can not only be used to develop products, but also to solve social problems. This book is a required task to go beyond the design of the style and then to the design of the world that has a profound impact ."
-Don Norman, co-founder of Nielsen Norman Group, author of living with complexity (design psychology 2: How to manage complexity)

"This book is a necessary upgrade for Jon kolko's previous (first version). On the basis of clarity and readability, it further expands the topic to reflect the significant extension of interaction design practices and fields in recent years. Jon is the leader in his mind and the messenger in education. He has made these two efforts in this book ."
-Steve portigal, head of portigal Consulting

"This book is an important work in the field of interactive design. through deep reflection, it integrates contemporary design theories and research achievements into interactive design practices. For new and old Interaction designers, this book has great value ."
-Carl disalvo, Ph.D. at Georgia Institute of Technology

Translation

[About this book]

The essence of this book is clearly explained by the author and I will not repeat it here. Translation is a process of reading, interpreting, and forwarding. Therefore, after translating this book, I am not only a translator, but also a reader who cares about and chew on text. What I want to talk about most is not the post-translation feeling of the translator, but the post-reading feeling of the reader.

The features of this book are summarized as follows:

First, we have a magnificent view of the overall situation. With its rich experience, amazing insights and inductive ability, the author gives a comprehensive perspective and reflection on the interactive design. Under the major subject of design, concepts, theories, and practical experiences in multiple related fields are linked up. After reading these topics, people will feel confused and have the courage to grasp the overall situation.

Second, an eye-catching eye-opener. No field exists independently, and the intersection of disciplines is inevitable. The author cited concepts, ideas, figures, and views in philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other fields for comparison, analogy, examples, and criticism, efforts should be made to present all kinds of relevant information in the design scope to the readers at the most appropriate time. On the one hand, the readers should be able to appreciate the meaning of the information, and on the other hand, they should be cautious in guiding the readers with their own opinions. The result is that the reader is given enough rich and powerful "ideological weapons" to discuss the essence of design at the same height as the author.

Third, a strong sense of opinion. The author holds more lofty ideals and visions for design. While relentlessly criticizing materialism and consumption, the author uses persuasive arguments and strong feelings to shout out to readers. The ambition of design should not be limited to superficial flashy and fancy fashion. Design can also be done more, the ultimate goal of design is to create a better world, designers shoulder a huge responsibility.

The overall view of the author has placed us on the shoulders of giants with great foresight. The author's blog cited more reading clues (for example, I could not help but look at the books that the author cited, such as citizen designer and cradle to cradle, and benefited a lot), and taught us to look at things with speculative eyes. The author's clear point of view not only is thought-provoking, but also shows us the direction of development in the design field.

Whether as an experienced design expert or an educator for preaching, teaching, or confusing, the author uses this book to give us the most valuable thing-wisdom and speculation.

As a translator who is deeply attracted by the author's views, I strongly recommend that readers of this book continue to pay attention to the articles published by the author (www.jonkolko.com and www.ac4d.com, of course, there are also indispensable industry journals interactions magazine ), and read the author's other books ("exposing the magic of design: a practitioner's guide to the methods and theory of synthesis" and "Wicked problems, problems worth solving: A handbook and a call to action).

Design is everywhere, so this book is more and more valuable and worthy of reading by anyone involved in or interested in design.
