Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life) (Gebundene Ausgabe) I have a lot of respect for John Maeda's work, but not for this one. This one is just superficial ramblings.

It's actually a very good example how NOT to deal with the subject matter - the use of the completely meaningless acronyms is simply confusing and muddles the point. There are some very good books on simplicity in industrial design, and I guess most will be more worthwile than this.

Maeda keeps coming back to the iPod to make some shallow remarks about who in his family understood the interface and who didn't. It would be much more interesting to look at how that design has evolved from the ideals of Dieter Rams of Braun, to Johnny Ive of Apple.

Nothing like that happens here; inflated anecdotes replace what should have been insights, and where you expect a meaningful thought you find a limp joke.

I learned nothing from this book.
