The User-
Illusion of the World:

on the meaning of design for the economy and society in the computer age


Mundus vult decipi, goes an old moralistic saying: the world wants to be deceived. This is especially valid today. We could hark back to Nietzsche: bring on the beautiful illusions. Yet simulacra, as such would have it, don't actually deceive: they seduce. And seduction is a surface effect.
