This pioneering work explores the legal and regulatory challenges of dark patterns and deceptive design strategies in digital environments. Mark Leiser distinguishes between surface-level UI manipulations and more profound, often hidden forms of architectural and behavioural manipulation embedded in system design. Bridging law, technology, and design, the book offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing manipulative practices across platforms. It is essential reading for policymakers, legal scholars, designers, and technologists seeking to create more trustworthy digital experiences.
