Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing by Adam Greenfield
5.0
This book has a strong focus on the human side of new-fangled technology, which makes it refreshingly different than most books about the subject.
The only thing I didn't like about this book is that the extremely short chapters made the book feel very long. It was almost like reading a series of blog posts about ubiquitous computing, though a series of very well written and carefully ordered blog posts.
As a designer, the last section was the most relevant and interesting, about the ways everyware should be designed to preserve our humanity in the face of technological change. Short answer: it shouldn't make our lives worse.
