About this book

Evil by Design sets out how companies make people feel good about doing what those companies want. The approach comes from the dark side of persuasive design, pulling together psychology, marketing and design to explain why certain techniques work on us. Chapters are organized around the seven deadly sins: pride, sloth, gluttony, anger, envy, lust and greed. Examples drawn from across the web are turned into digestible patterns that a reader can put to work.
