"most useless book" is a great definition of all that (unfortunately it is not just a book)
I think that the right words for Design Patterns...as for Object Oriented Programming itself are "brainwashing" , next after Fortran, AI , structured programming...(IT is fruitful place for politics if not for science)
Smalltalk was a great language but everything was poisoned by "object oriented" mammal and vehicle subclass hierarchies in so many books and lessons A funny remark here is that french philosopher and sociologist Jean Baudrillard wrote a book entitled "Le Systeme des objets" in 1968 and he didn't find them so exciting...and was it worthy to re-invent Object Systems in programming few years later ?And Design Patterns are just the second iteration of all that a - kind of "relative object orientation"
When in 1960 Richard Karp discovered *smalltalk 60* he understood the consequences of his discovery and spent years in complexity theory (- he got the Turing too,so maybe not only bad taste is awarded)
Just imagine an IT world in which OOP and Design Patterns are invented in 1960:-)... sounds terible but I'm afraid there are people who always tryed to do that
