Machine Beauty Elegance and the Heart of Technology
Disappointing. I work in technology, and I had high hopes at the start of this book. I was on board with the definition of beauty as “simplicity and power†but later chapters he comes across as a cranky old person ranting about how computers are ugly and radios from the 30’s are beautiful. Reading about his vision for organizing information (Lifestreams) was tiring as he went on Abbott his simplistic vision for how to make it beautiful.
There are probably better books out there discussing beauty in simplicity, and how difficult it is to achieve.
