A great read !

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 9 septembre 2013

Just one of my most enjoyable, insightful and fun reading since a loooong time! For a work-related book, It's as amazing as are Sci-fi films.

I've discovered the authors, Nathan and Christopher, through their blog scifiinterfaces.com. After few months of reading, I've decided to take time to read their book.

*Make It So* is a thorough study of interfaces included in Sci-fi movies and TV Shows. Each chapter is focused on a domain, or on a purpose - learning, communications, etc... This is a clever organization that helps you get useful insignts and ideas that can be applied within our daily life as UX workers. There is also some "lessons" resumed and indexed that offer direct applicable advices

The best part of this book, compared to other UX-related books, is that all you learn is extracted from SciFi films: The matrix, Incredibles, Metropolis, Star trek, Star wars, ... Do you know another book that talks about your favorites films AND give you some knowledge at the same time ? I don't, and that's why the reading of Make It So was a real pleasure !

Smart, fun and insightful: why aren't all business books done this way?

No joke. This is the best book related to design strategy I've ever read.

As a content strategist and taxonomy consultant, I've worked with UX and IA folks since the dawn of the Web and, while we're all aiming for usability and ease, sometimes the metaphors just aren't there.

Trying to read books on usability has been... laughable. Filled with jargon, outdated before they're printed and more useful in curing insomnia than usability issues.

Obviously, Make It So is not that book.

First, by using sci-fi, it establishes a common metaphor that makes talking about interaction tangible, real and understandable - rather than an ethereal or theoretical thing to guess at. Whether someone's read the book or not, it helped me talk about big concepts through simple examples in Star Trek, for example.

Secondly, it's a fun read, which is rare in business books, no matter how useful. I found myself wanting to read it, sneaking a chapter in whenever possible and making notes about principles I wanted to put in place, as well as a few movies I wanted to see.

Thirdly, it's immensely powerful.

I saw William Gibson speak about sci-fi storytelling once. A screenwriting student asked him how he was able to envision the future of computing so well in Neuromancer. He said (roughly) that he was glad that he hadn't seen or used a computer before he wrote it and that the first time he actually used one, he was sorely let down - that experience with computers would have prevented him from, well, inventing cyberspace.

That insight and that magic is exactly what's captured in Make it So. Through the lens of on-screen sci-fi (movies and TV), the authors take the public's hopes and fears for technology, the Platonic ideal of interaction and turn it into simple, relevant, useful, jargon-free imperatives that can apply directly (or in the case of brain-based interfaces, more indirectly) to the most basic interface choices, universal across web design, product design and, I would imagine, the future of fiction as well.

It's about time... travel

This work shall be a long legged text for serious students - if the authors & publisher can get away with the blatant fair use exemption of visual content. I find in my experience of dealing with licensing issues that they are on firm ground; defending it may be overly exciting. In the the case where they are injuncted I advise samizdat (please post the full text in the format of your choice ASAP to the Pirate Bay). This work should be required of design students as basic ground, before they engage in war/discourse/battle/creation (Sun Tzu, anyone?).

I have advised graduate students of design who have no sense of history. As an old fart (I started with punched cards, and I liked Ike) I would now require reading of this text before & while inventing the Next Thing.

Destination Moon... make it so...

Time traveler.

Perfect for interaction designers

I use this book to help me with a paper about space ship design, comparing real and fictional, at my interaction design post-degree. As a huge fan of Star Trek, I keep reading it because it's so fun and full of trivia. It really helps to understand why media portraits sci-fi the way it does and the real life usability lessons it gave to us.

Both Thoughtful and Thought-Provoking

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 30 janvier 2013

Achat vérifié

Today, as the pace of technological innovation continues to push us towards experiences that were heretofore considered to be impossible, science fiction offers us a window into how future technologies can work, look and feel. In a way, and perhaps without consciously realizing it, fillmmakers are creating user personae and user scenarios for all kinds of new experiences, and there are definitely lessons to be learned from their exploits.

Make It So takes great pains to be inclusive and systematic in its examination of science fiction as applied to user experience design, and the result is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Intriguing concept, thick read

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 23 avril 2014

Achat vérifié

Having heard about this from the amazing radio show "99% Invisible" I had to pick up a copy. The author's though experiment, in attempting to categorize and interpret designs and interfaces from scifi, is an intriguing one. The book certainly has a wide variety of pictures from a range of scifi film and television, but the analysis grows lengthy and over-wrought at times. Still worth reading, but it can be skimmed.

This work balances the interest of casual as well as trained designer readers well. Very well written. I am not taking too much directly away from the "lessons" in each chapter but I enjoy the tangential thinking they generate.
