Slutsåld

Our love affair with the digital interface is out of control. Weve embraced it in the boardroom, the bedroom, and the bathroom.

Screens have taken over our lives. Most people spend over eight hours a day staring at a screen, and some technological innovators are hoping to grab even more of your eyeball time. You have screens in your pocket, in your car, on your appliances, and maybe even on your face. Average smartphone users check their phones 150 times a day, responding to the addictive buzz of Facebook or emails or Twitter.

Are you sick? Theres an app for that! Need to pray? Theres an app for that! Dead? Well, theres an app for that, too! And most apps are intentionally addictive distractions that end up taking our attention away from things like family, friends, sleep, and oncoming traffic.

Theres a better way.

In this book, innovator Golden Krishna challenges our world of nagging, screen-based bondage, and shows how we can build a technologically advanced world without digital interfaces.

In his insightful, raw, and often hilarious criticism, Golden reveals fascinating ways to think beyond screens using three principles that lead to more meaningful innovation. Whether youre working in technology, or just wary of a gadget-filled future, youll be enlighted and entertained while discovering that the best interface is no interface.

  1. Ger en nyanserad syn på användarupplevelse
    E.H., 23 september 2016

    Boken är lättsam att läsa med lagom mängd komik.
    Krishna ger sin syn på hur vi borde försöka minska antalet gånger vi är beroende av att plocka fram mobilen och vara beroende av skärmar för att genomföra enkla uppgifter.

Recensioner i media


"If Silicon Valley doesn't read this book, we're all ****ed."
- Doug LeMoine, Managing Director, Cooper

An irreverent, crazy tirade. So why should you read this book? Because irreverence is precisely what is needed today to get us out of the rut of bad, unintelligible, frustrating design. Because the book is funny, caustic, and insightful. So next time you are feeling low, just open the book to some random page and read for a few minutes. You will start smiling, laughing, and learning. A great cure for all that ails you. Why read this book? Well, because I told you to.
-Don Norman, Design Lab, University of California, San Diego
Author of The Design of Everyday Things, Revised and Expanded


In this amusing, smart, and brave case against our screen-based world, Golden Krishna reinforces his position as one of the worlds foremost thinkers of user experience design.
-  Martin Thrnkvist, Conference Director, The Conference by Media Evolution

This essential book will hopefully mark the moment in history when we say ENOUGH! to screen saturation and usher in a more meaningful co-habitation with technology.
- Kevin Farnham, Founder of Method and Co-Author of Experience Design: A Framework for Integrating Brand, Experience, and Value

"A mind-bending, thoughtful, life-affirming and sure-to-be-controversial manifesto about how we might significantly change our relationship to the technology that surrounds us."
- Dave Gray, Author of The Connected Company and Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers

"Krishna's book is written in a very colloquial and accessible style; at times it reads more like a great argument in a Silicon Valley coffee shop, long after closing time, at a table covered in diagrams scribbled on paper napkins. But that's exactly what makes it worth reading. It's not bland theory, but a lively tale well told by someone with deep experience in the field of user experience design."
 - PC Magazine
