This book was about Don Norman contradicting what he said in earilier books. He goes on about how robots need to have emotion and how the design of things evoke emotions in people.

I thought this book was fairly interestingin the way it reminds me of other things that are interesting. His ideas on how robots need to have emotion so they can learn and adapt is a little scary. Although in Terminator and The Matrix the machines don't seem to have emotions they're just cold killers. He goes on and lists some rules for machines that he ripped from I, robot. Which kind of says to me he really doesn't have any original ideas in this book it's all already been explored in Sci-fi.
