“... Harry Brignull singlehandedly originated the whole idea of deceptive patterns (well, originally ‘dark’ patterns, but that’s a whole story that he explains) many years ago. On behalf of users everywhere, he championed the fight against them by educating everyone about them, and exposing them on his web site... It’s a great book. If you spend anytime online doing anything, you should read it.”
– Steve Krug, internationally acclaimed user-experience consultant and author of the bestselling usability classic Don't Make Me Think.
