Synopsis
A computer programming pioneer criticizes the software industry for relying too much on the skills of its technicians, rather than on leadership and intuitive interface design. After outlining why technology is still prohibitively difficult to use and manage, he tells how to bridge both the technological and communication gaps among computer users, software executives, and technicians.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he "inmates" referred to in the title of Alan Cooper's new book are actually software programmers. And they are in control, lamentably, of one of the most important business functions in the world economy, namely the design and production of software. So argues Cooper and persuasively at that....Cooper, who is known in the industry as the father of Visual Basic, argues that there is a reason for all the pain, literal and figurative, that software causes us. And that is in the nature of the software creation process itself."
