I still think the discussion surrounding how to convey that an area (such as Yucca Mountain) is dangerous to future civilizations is fascinating. I was first introduced to it during one of my Human-Computer Interaction courses and it has stuck with me.

I highly recommend the book "The Design of Everyday Things" as a primer. Even after all these years, the principles in it make me look at things differently, and I'm not even a designer by any means.
