How Users Matter: The Co-Construction of Users and Technology
Literally, "it was okay." Chapter 11 is sort of cool and the introduction provides a good overview of the literature in this area. But...it's kind of overdone, such that most of the articles don't seem to be saying anything strikingly new. Perhaps this is one of those areas of research that people need to move away from or reinvent somehow. We don't "need" endless case studies about users (maybe businesses do, but do scholars?). It could also have to do with the sociology writing style, which pretends to posit model, "data," then conclusion, like a science article. I find that a desperately boring way to write. Use for reference. That's all.
