Sobre este livro
Everywhere you look, you're pressing something that doesn't work. The Illusion of Control reveals the quiet brilliance—and subtle deception—behind the thousands of buttons, switches, and sliders that exist only to make us feel in charge.
From elevator "close door" switches that haven't been wired in decades to office thermostats set permanently at 22°C, placebo interfaces surround us. Yet far from being a design flaw, they serve a profound psychological purpose. The Illusion of Control unpacks the strange collaboration between engineers, architects, and psychologists who discovered that perceived agency is often more valuable than real control.
