Laurence Diver's book explores the design of legitimate software, combining legal theory, philosophy of technology, and programming practice. It argues that code rules should have formal characteristics to be acceptable in a democracy and provides digisprudential affordances for realizing legitimacy through programming languages, IDEs, and agile development. It includes insights into real-world technologies and case studies on blockchain and IoT.

Laurence Diver's book "Legitimate Software: A New Theoretical and Practical Approach" combines insights from legal theory, philosophy of technology, and programming practice to develop a novel theoretical and practical framework for designing legitimate software. The book critically examines the rules of code, asserting that they should possess specific formal characteristics to be acceptable in a democratic society. This leads to the emergence of digisprudential affordances, which translate legitimacy concepts from legal philosophy into the realm of code design. The book highlights the constitutional role played by programming languages, integrated development environments (IDEs), and agile development practices in realizing these affordances. Throughout the text, theory and practice are intertwined, with numerous real-world technologies and case studies on blockchain applications and the Internet of Things (IoT) included.
