What's that book got to do with designing software? Genuine question.

Software is an everyday thing.

The book also coined the term "affordance", which is still used today in UI discussions. One of the criticisms of flat design is that it removes affordances, in contrast to e.g. the 90s-era Windows 3D buttons which use a consistent visual language to indicate what elements the user can interact with.
