"So this isn’t really a book about computers. This is a book about how to make your technology less likely to accidently interrupt, insult, injure, or kill you or anyone else."

Okay I'm giving this book a try...

Insulting technology is a thing!

"Humans are apes. Like other apes, we enjoy organizing things into categories. I believe that we do this so that we can pretend to understand them better than we really do. What’s more, we believe that we really do it well. Consider the examples of the labels “night” and “day”. They are clearly different and mutually exclusive, so those seem like very good labels… but where do you draw the line between one and the other?"

The book I just started to read when I should be sleeping is "Anthropology-Based Computing" by John N.A. Brown.

Basically the book is interrupting my sleep, is this bad design?
