Friends, SLOrkians, denizens of the world — lend me your ears!

For the past three years, and thanks to a Guggenheim Fellowship, I have 
been working on a (488-page, full-color, comic) book — ARTFUL DESIGN: 
TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF THE SUBLIME — a manifesto of how we shape 
technology, and a meditation on how technology shapes us in turn. 
Breaking down the design of tools, toys, wacky computer music 
instruments (including SLOrk), video games, and social experiences, this 
book elaborates 100+ tacit principles of artful design and articulates 
an overarching aesthetic/moral-ethical dimension of technology. 
Published by Stanford University Press, ARTFUL DESIGN was created 
entirely in the medium of a photo comic.

It's nerdy. It's philosophical. It's a core dump of my brain in comic 
form. And it's here.

See for yourself:

The chapters (and some tips on reading):

Order today, and I'll see you in the book:

Do you know anyone else who might be interested in this book?
Please forward this email to them!

Ge!
