Was my first proper read of a non-fiction book, teaches a lot of design and how humans interface with objects. At the end Norman says you can read chapters of a non-fictional book like this in any order, which pissed me off at the time.
Ending kinda sucked rest was good, comes with my favourite quote: “If you want my sympathy, you can find it in the dictionary: between sh*t and syphilis.”
This is a genuinely great and accessible book for people looking to get into game design. It delves into what "play" is and how fun is derived from our mind. It sometimes repeats itself sometimes but otherwise it's a great start.
