Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The classic Art of Human-Computer Interface Design is one book that isn't filled with code samples but is nonetheless a thought-provoking resource for developers. The book is a collection of essays from industry luminaries such as Alan Kay, Nicholas Negroponte, and Ted Nelson. Don't expect to read it for hard-and-fast advice on solving your programming problems, but do expect to gain new perspectives on how your users view your applications and what they expect from a computer.

Book Description
A treasury of ideas and opinions from leading thinkers in the computer industry, 'Art of Human-Computer Interface Design' delves into the strategies, reasoning, and future direction of human-computer interaction and the overall relationship between computers and people.

This book started as an interior project at Apple, then grew into a more diversified attempt to survey the varied philosophies, design methods, and technological approaches that have recently evolved. It draws on essays from interface design specialists, as well as works by those involved with drama and narrative, industrial design, animation, and cognitive and interpersonal psychology.
