Peter Benz' book lifts up a mutable, yet comprehensive, approximate truth to the practice best known as Experience Design. Indeed, the great strength of his compendium is that it doesn't overreach, but scouts realistic approximations of what Experience Design has become, while forecasting its future, envisioning its potential. This book, maps a network of the voices relevant to Experience Design, and is an expression not only of their insights, each unfolding in every pointed and poignant essay, but Benz' own deft touch and deep insight. It is as if he were a conductor giving the first draft of a score what it deserves; pure latency, its approximate identity, and therefore its development encouraged as an open-textured concept, rather than curtailed. -- Ronald Jones, Harvard University, USA Peter Benz's book brings us closer to the essence of experience design. Benz approaches the subject with a deep insight, focusing on the core value of experience itself, not only as part of the commercial system. Bringing multiple perspectives and approaches to bear, the volume analyses how to create new user experiences through the presentation of diverse case studies. For those wishing to learn about experience design, this is a forward-thinking, inspirational, and must-read reference. -- Yang Wenqing, Loe Design and Tongji University, China

Experience is an individual comprehensive reaction in the complex artificial system. -- Yang Wenqing, Loe Design and Tongji University, China
