This episode explores the six principles outlined in Italo Calvino’s book, Six Memos for the Next Millennium, and how these principles can be applied to UX design.

We also discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of applying these principles. Then we compare the work of Calvino with that of Umberto Eco, showing how both authors influenced postmodernist aesthetics and argued for a new kind of literature that reflects the complexities of the modern world.
