Ten years ago this book taught you how to get a seat at the table. That was then, this is now. Now we use the table for kindling.
Design has changed, and this book has changed with it. In this second edition, Mike Monteiro not only covers how to be a working designer, but also how to take care of yourself, deal with toxic workplaces, and learn to operate in a community rather than as individual practitioners.
If you are interested in using design as a tool for good, building a more sustainable and equitable society, creating workplaces where everyone is treated with respect, and doing all of these things while still making a living, this book is for you.
WHAT’S NEW IN THE 2nd EDITION?
Fewer fucks to give.
More stuff about working in-house, and unionizing.
We actually get paid a fair share of every book sale now because we’re publishing ourselves. And you, my beloved, are supporting independent publishing.

“Take everything you know about the first edition and throw it out the window, and then set that window on fire. Monteiro shows no mercy in this new edition, crafted to help designers navigate (and change) a world that is happy to take advantage of them and encourage them to build unethical products.
Also, it’s funny.””
