The world is a better place because of digital and computer technology. However, this doesn't mean our world will stay that way. While we recognize the many great improvements to the quality of life that digital technology has enabled, the truth is, we are being conditioned to roll over and accept huge failings in privacy, safety, choice, and community all in an effort to stay on a falsely deterministic path of technological inevitability. A new wave of thinking is growing, in part as a reaction to the unintended consequences of this push to all-things-digital. This reaction we call "Cyber Skepticism," and it's a movement that is long overdue. In this book, we begin to explore some of the ever-increasing consequences of our digital lives in relation to philosophy, history, current events, social constructs, and simply stated, what it means to be a human living in the midst of machines.

Usability in Government Systems: User Experience Design for Citizens and Public Servants
<p>As a usability specialist or interaction designer working with the government, or as a government or contractor professional involved in specifying, procuring, or managing system development, you need this book. Editors Elizabeth Buie and Dianne Murray have brought together over 30 experts to outline practical advice to both usability specialists and government technology professionals and managers.</p> <p>Working with internal and external government systems is a unique and difficult task because of of the sheer magnitude of the audience for external systems (the entire population of a country, and sometimes more), and because of the need to achieve government transparency while protecting citizens' privacy.. Open government, plain language, accessibility, biometrics, service design, internal vs. external systems, and cross-cultural issues, as well as working with the government, are all covered in this book.</p>
