I thought the Winograd/Flores book, "Understanding Computers and Cognition"
was quite good, and I recommended it on the Extropians list several years

A good description of Heidegger's "readiness to hand," which may also be
characterized as "user friendliness" and "intuitiveness."

I never looked at their "fascistware" product, a product category which
seems to have thankfully died.
