Have you ever wondered about the books Amazon refuses? Journalist Joe Wilcox can tell you. Kindle Singles hit the reject button on timely and insightful essay "The Principles of Design". Singles are curated, short-form works. Amazon acts as editor and publisher. Wilcox pokes fun at Amazon -- and himself -- by publishing with new title "This Book is not a Kindle Single (The Rejected Essay)". The seasoned technology writer explains what attributes make Apple products so successful and why Google is the emerging leader in disruptive designs. "Google stands apart for pushing forward Star Trek-like human responsiveness", he asserts, as computing and consumer electronic devices move from touch to touchless interaction.

What are the eight Principles that define successful technology products, particularly those intended to displace something else? What are the five future tech design trends? How will human-like responsiveness change how you will interact with everything from smartphones to refrigerators? The "Rejected Essay" answers.
