Hope and the Ethical Future of Web Design

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the main argument of the book and reflects on its implications for the future of web design and future studies of cultural work. This involves doing several things: thinking about the ethical practices of future web designers; considering what future action might be implied by my argument (and by the book’s limitations); and defending the hopefulness that underlies much of my argument as a strategy for critical intervention. I start by considering the ethics and values of some of the web designers of the future.
