Kuang and Fabricant map the hidden rules of the design world and highlight on how these rues have caused our world to change. Combine  expertise and insight of a leading journalist and a pioneering designerand out comes a book that offers a very practical perspective on a topic that has rapidly gone from underestimated to inescapable.
