Dr Mark Leiser's Dark Patterns, Deceptive Design, and the Law is a masterful examination of one of the most insidious threats in our digital age. With a keen eye for both regulatory nuance and the deeper structural manipulations at play, Leiser moves beyond the surface-level discussion of dark patterns to reveal how deception is embedded not just in user interfaces, but in the very architecture of our digital experiences. This book is an essential resource for scholars, regulators, and anyone concerned with deceptive design and AI. Leiser's work stands as a compelling call to action, urging us to challenge the AI systems that shape-and too often exploit-our online lives.

Dr Leiser engages clearly and insightfully with the topic of dark patterns. This book is informative and transformative through a multifaceted approach to the subject. It challenges readers to rethink their perspectives and the implications of deceptive design-in the user interface and beneath the surface in the system architecture.
