Produktbeschreibung

What happens when objects behave unexpectedly or fail to do what they 'should'? Who defines failure? Is failure always bad? Rather than viewing concepts such as failure, incoherence or incompetence as antithetical to social life, this book examines the unexpected and surprising ways in which failure can lead to positive and creative results.
