Ethics and Technology: Ethical Issues in an Age of Information and Communication Technology introduces readers to the issues and controversies that comprise the relatively new field of Cyberethics. It treats Cyberethics as an interdisciplinary field of study and aims at addressing several audiences, including those in the computer science, philosophy, social/behavioral science, and library/information science fields. Ten chapters divide Tavani's text, with the first introducing the key concepts and terms appearing throughout the book. Actual case examples and hypothetical scenarios illustrate ethical controversies that convey the seriousness of the issues under consideration. These concepts receive reinforcement with review/study and discussion/essay questions at the end of each chapter that facilitate readers' comprehension and reflection of ethical issues.
