This is a bit of a tricky book to read. It refers to a lot of external work and reuses terminology that makes it difficult to follow along until you’ve steeped enough in the related literature, and slowly builds up its case about joint cognitive systems until the few final chapters. In these late chapters, a lot of everything comes together, providing a rich reference describing human-machine interactions and pointing towards rules and laws to help design and orient interaction.
The book offers a sort of unifying view that would otherwise require reading dozens of papers to get a glimpse of, which is what motivates my high rating for it (despite the “insider baseball” feel it otherwise has).
