Part 2 of a three-part essay, “The Interfaces With Which We Think” (the third part of which has yet to appear). Argues for the importance of malleable user interfaces: that people should be able to compose and customise their digital tools, not just consume them as fixed products.

A person should be allowed to adapt their interfaces no less than they should be allowed to think.
