This is an excellent follow-up to Snell's book (below). Fisher combines low-level considerations that all web developers face, such as the need for scanners and the integration of sound and video, with three exceptional chapters on interaction with animation, story, and real human beings. The story chapter is worth the price of the book. People tend to forget about story in the mad rush for interaction; Fisher reminds us that buttons that blink are no substitute for narrative.
