What about "The Design of Everyday Things" strikes you as stale? It's been a while since I've read it, but I don't remember feeling that way when I was reading it. That being said, I was just getting started, so I was doubtlessly lacking context. Can you recommend a book akin to Desi...Things that you feel better describes "modern" design?
