What They're Saying
Critics Review
ENDORSEMENTS
“In developing value sensitive design, Friedman, Hendry, and colleagues pioneered practical, systematic tools for exploring the moral dimensions of design practice. Striving for ‘progress, not perfection,’ this new edition expands the toolkit at a moment when the topics are more pressing than ever. It deserves to be at the center of any digital design program.”
—Paul Dourish, author of The Stuff of Bits
“A timely and insightful book appropriately positioning humanity at the forefront of rapidly advancing technologies. The text is at once critical and cautionary yet optimistic with actionable studios and examples for education and practice applications.”
—Bruce Hanington, author of Universal Methods of Design
