i could not recommend "the humane interface" more highly... not because every idea emanating from it came down from mt. sinai, but because it has such beautiful, coherent end-to-end user-experience-oriented analysis... i feel like anyone who cares about these sorts of things who reads it would immediately recognize the genius of the book / product / etc. which is not to say that the product itself was worthy of this level of praise-- the thoughtfulness and ... clarity of thought in its presentation makes it an incredible piece of work. funny to me that he wound up on the sidelines of mac / pc history (apple probably made the right choice btw), but the choices, thoughtfulness, etc. in the book are just beautiful and enlightening. a book worthy of ones' "books i actually give a shit about" bookshelf, as it is on mine. like... i would be willing to send this book to randos on hackernews should they prove interested-- that is how strongly i feel like this book should be consumed.
