Citizen Designer

Via John Emerson's excellent Social Design Notes, "There are many things I’m looking for in a book on design responsibility. Some historical perspective, some global perspective, a sense of urgency, a rigorous analysis of the relationships between design and society and the world we live in. Sadly Citizen Designer: Perspectives on Design Responsibility is none of these things ... Yet even when the essays fail, they often raise important questions."

The entire review is well worth reading, and it brings to mind a recent discussion at Marginwalker.
