Foreword<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Anthony Dunne,<br />

Head <strong>of</strong> Programme,<br />

Design Interactions<br />

In this project with Micros<strong>of</strong>t<br />

<strong>Research</strong>, Cambridge, and the<br />

Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office Team, we explore<br />

new ways design can make<br />

technology-supported writing and<br />

authorship more meaningful and<br />

relevant to our lives, both now,<br />

and in the future, by thinking not<br />

only about new applications but<br />

implications as well.<br />

<strong>The</strong> aim is to inspire, stimulate<br />

discussion, and provoke debate in<br />

order to help achieve a technological<br />

future that reflects the complex,<br />

troubled people we are, rather than<br />

the easily satisfied consumers<br />

and users we are supposed to be.<br />
