Book Description: Computational Interaction: A New Paradigm for Understanding Human-Technology Relationships Antti Oulasvirta 2018 432 Oxford University Press Summary: In this groundbreaking book, [Your Name] presents a revolutionary approach to understanding the relationship between humans and technology, introducing the concept of "computational interaction" as a framework for analyzing and enhancing the interaction between humans and information technology. The author argues that by applying abstraction, automation, and analysis to the study of human-technology interactions, we can develop more effective and efficient interfaces that cater to the unique needs and preferences of each individual user. Plot: The book begins with an introduction to the concept of computational interaction, explaining how it differs from traditional approaches to human-technology relationships and highlighting its potential benefits. The author then delves into the history of human-technology interactions, tracing the evolution of technology from simple tools to complex systems that now permeate every aspect of our lives. This historical context sets the stage for the main argument of the book: that the pace of technological change has outpaced our ability to understand and adapt to it, leading to a growing divide between humans and technology.
