Ruined by Design: How Designers Destroyed the World, and What We Can Do to Fix It

by Mike Monteiro

I intend to show you that design is a political act. What we choose to design and more importantly, what we choose not to design,

Our labor is what makes us special, and what gives us power.

When you do work that depends on a need for income disparity or class distinctions to succeed, you are failing at your job as a human being, and therefore as a designer.

We need to fear the consequences of our work more than we love the cleverness of our ideas.
