This changed my perspective on automation in the work place. ( )
  mielniczuk | Apr 13, 2015 |
This is a book about computerization of work and its possible consequences in terms of changing power structures, erosion of professional skills, and so on. Zuboff argues against the tendency to automate in favor of what she calls the "informate" approach. The book serves as a useful reminder of the interaction designer’s responsibility.
