The world is working exactly as designed. And it’s not working very well. Which means, we need to do a better job of designing it. Design is a craft with an amazing amount of power. The power to choose. The power to influence. As designers, we need to see ourselves as gatekeepers of what we are bringing into the world and what we choose not to bring into the world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Sometimes designed objects reject their users: a computer mouse that doesn't work for left-handed people, for example, or a touchscreen payment system that only works for people who read English phrases, have 20/20 vision, and use a credit card. These mismatches are the building blocks of exclusion. In Mismatch, Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to exclusion, and how design can also remedy exclusion.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 527
Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious - even liberating - audiobook, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints.

Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We’re rebelling against technology that’s too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte “read me” manuals. The iPod’s clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that’s simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do.

Content heavy and noble attempt
Accessibility for Everyone has quickly become a must read for any person involved with product development and digital delivery. It is a must Read! I stress read here because I teach from this book and feel that the audio version is not a replacement for the physical book. The book is rich with visual content that is sorely missed in the audio version. I recently had a student who has been blind from birth and found myself in the position of being a "live" alt tag describing content while teaching through the book.
That said if you have a cognitive challenge or difficulty reading then the audible pairs nicely with a pdf or physical copy of the book. In short if you are a student assigned this book please know that the audio only is not a replacement. Accessibility in UX and design is a serious matter if you are looking for shortcuts then please just look for another career.
