Reviews

This book is more than a conversation starter; it is a conversation changer. A designer and an ethnographer, Loukissas provides a rare dual vision on how simulation changes how we build and think about building. Elegant. Sophisticated. A must-read across a range of fields in science and technology studies and design. Sherry Turkle, Abby Rockefeller Mauze Professor of theSocial Studies of Science and Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
