Reviving historical manifestations of frustration, author Silvio Lorusso analyzes contemporary memes and social media shitstorms. To describe this oppressive crisis he creates a new critical vocabulary for readers to use in the future. This study offers a fresh perspective on the problem: instead of creating meaningful order, design may simply be a way of existing in chaos. Once a promising field based on problem-solving, it has become a problem itself. Designers’ skills appear fragile and insignificant – their expertise is perceived indifferently, their experience is devalued by online services, their work is complicated by a range of misaligned external factors. If you see yourself as a designer without qualities; if you feel deceived, disappointed or betrayed by design, this book is for you.
