المراجعة التحريرية | I.T. has triggered complex social, political, economic and ethical issues that need urgent action if we are to survive the coming decades of unprecedented technological change. This book is a must-read for all those who want to understand the issues or, more important, want to help in their resolution.' -James Burke 'This book provides a breath of fresh air in the subject... with numerous examples. Further, it provides a nice link between ethical behaviour, professionalism and the law' -Karl Jones, Liverpool John Moores University 'I found this an excellent read, covering a wide range of essential social and professional issues for computer scientists. There is a good balance between ethical material and technical material, and it would be suitable for a layperson. An entertaining and thought-provoking book' -Dr. Carron Shankland of the University of Stirling |
