Zach Kaiser's Interfaces and Us dares to peel back the plastic film protecting interface design to reveal how it is both shapes and is shaped by everything from convenience and consumerism to market forces and economic inequality. While finally putting to rest the idea that design is inherently neutral, it's an indispensable guide to the politics of how we interface not just with the digital systems around us, but with late capitalism itself. -- Tim Maughan, author of Infinite Detail, Canada Interfaces and Us blends theory, art, activism and pedagogy into a cogent story about the making of selves and societies. This incisive text will be an inflection point for design education. -- Jenny L. Davis, School of Sociology, The Australian National University
