 MAY'S FC READERS' CHOICE AWARD
In the Bubble
by John Thackara
If you've ever found yourself saying, "bad TiVo!" design critic John Thackara is talking to you. At first blush, this copiously researched manifesto decrying the "schlock of the new" reads like a naturalist's indictment of the modern world. But there's more behind In the Bubble than tech-frustrated activism. Thackara brings his idealism down to earth with a rich narrative full of cleaner, simpler design innovations currently blossoming around the world--from misting showerheads and cheaper IV bags to e-learning on buses and "genetic" urban planning.
