Luminous Living Interface Design™: Moving to Wakanda — App Design Language That Serves Life for a New Era
An interface language built on the assumption that software should leave a person more alive than it found them.

Almost every design system optimises for engagement, and engagement is measured in a way that is indifferent to whether the person is better off. This volume proposes the opposite starting point and works out the consequences in detail: what a feed looks like when it is designed to end, what a notification is when it respects a nervous system, what an interface owes a person having a bad day.
It is a design language rather than a manifesto — components, motion, pacing, defaults — and it is written for people who ship. The title carries the author's own reference for the standard being aimed at.

Elsewhere in the Canon
How this book was made. Many volumes in this house were written with machine assistance. That is the author's declared working method, not a thing found out later, and the practice is itself a published paper with a DOI — Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human–AI Co-Creation. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's.
