Ronald M. Baecker reviews critical ethical issues raised by computers, such as digital inclusion, security, safety, privacy,automation, and work, and discusses social, political, and ethical controversies and choices now faced by society. Particular attention is paid to new and exciting developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the issues that have arisen from our complex relationship with AI. Review "An exceptional encyclopaedic review of the vital issues of our time - it's a remarkable accomplishment by a leading researcher, educator, and entrepreneur ... This astonishing book should be required reading for every computer science student to sensitize them to the realities of technology's impact on society. Instructors will appreciate the well-organized chapters with wise recommendations for research projects, debate topics, book reviews, ethical concerns, and almost 2000 references for further reading." -- Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland
