The notion that design can be "hacked" is unfathomable to me, really. I can't think of a less hack-oriented profession.

From what I gather the book isn't about

"how to apply 'hacking' to design"

but rather

"explaining design to people that have the 'hacker' mindset in such a way that it's easier for them to understand".
