ANN: "Make It So"--interaction design lessons from SciFi by Shedroff and Noessel

Science fiction has remained a pastime for designers, instead of a valuable source of insight and learning—until now. Make It So, by Nathan Shedroff and Chris Noessel, will be the first book to connect the inspiring "blue sky" designs of scifi with your own work in interaction design. This book will share lessons and examples culled from imaginative interfaces free from traditional constraints. In addition, Chris and Nathan will outline their process of investigation and describe a toolkit for others to make similar explorations into other domains. We're very excited to be publishing this book, and expect it to be available in late 2011.
