Fast and Slow

Drawing inspiration from fast and slow thinking, design thinking and our everchanging world, this book contrasts "fast" approaches-such as "quick-and-dirty ethnography, prototyping, and AI-driven automation-with "slow" methodologies that emphasize ethnographic studies, longitudinal research, and participatory design.
