Ethics and Technology ─ Ethical Issues in an Age Ofinformation and Communication Technology

This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.

The Fourth Edition of Ethics and Technologyintroduces students to issues and controversies that comprise the relatively new field of cyberethics. This textbook examines a wide range of cyberethics issues--from specific issues of moral responsibility to broader social and ethical concerns that affect each of us in our day-to-day lives. Recent developments in machine ethics should also cause students to consider questions about conventional conceptions of autonomy and trust. Such topics and many other engaging ethical controversies--both hypothetical and actual cases--are discussed in this widely used and respected text.
