| Abstract | "When society relies on computer models and their interfaces to explain and predict everything from love to geo-political conflicts, our own behavior and choices are artificially changed. Using interdisciplinary research techniques, Zachary Kaiser explores the harmful social consequences of this idea - balanced against speed and ease for the user - and proposes how user experience, interaction and graphic design practice and education can respond positively"-- Provided by publisher. |
