The Laws of Simplicity
I just completed reading The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda. Without a doubt, this was an excellent book. There are ten laws in the book and every one of them is worth the few minutes that it takes to read through each chapter.
It’s almost funny that I read the book in only a couple of hours (it’s under 100 pages) and I’ve spent the last day reading an installation document that tells me how to get ready to setup some software. Based on the first law and the tenth law, I think about 80% to 90% of my time could have been spared.
