Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems (Voices That Matter)

How it reads

Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems (Voices That Matter) is narrative nonfiction (usability testing guide, specifically), and its dominant mood is hopeful. Whatever it puts its people through, it believes things can get better. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in several locations, in the present day, told through letters, documents or mixed forms. Its central concerns are art and creativity, identity and class and society. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 161 pages it's a single-sitting book. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
