ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1, the argument was that all software is an artefact of human making and that all software, in turn, shapes us. This chapter now develops that claim further by treating software as a cultural artefact through its interface and architecture as an event and situation. To show this, we move from the interface through its material underpinnings and layered architectures to the situated, lived experience before turning to the politics and implications of its critique.
