Summary:

In this provocative anthology, today's most articulate designers and pundits explore what it means to be a designer in a corporate-driven, over-branded, global consumer culture. The book tackles design responsibility with a scope and diversity previously unseen. Forty debate-stirring essays and interviews espouse viewpoints covering a wide range of social, professional, political and cultural topics including reality branding, game design and school violence, socially responsible advertising and exploitation, and design as a force for improving the environment.
