Reviews

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 *
