Product Description

Written in clear, accessible prose, the Fourth edition of Computer Ethics brings together philosophy, law, and technology. The text provides an in-depth exploration and analysis of a broad range of topics regarding the ethical implications of widespread use of computer technology. The approach is normative while also exposing the student to alternative ethical stances.

From the Back Cover

Computer Ethics: Analyzing Information Technology,

The 4th edition brings the field of computer ethics into the 21st Century. Drawing on concepts and theories from STS, this edition introduces a new approach: sociotechnical computer ethics. The book maintains a focus on enduring issues of privacy, property, democracy, and professional ethics while coming to grips with current developments in computing, information, communication technologies, and ethical issues around social networking, free and open source software, Wikipedia, artificial agents, and more.

The new edition is accessible to undergraduates while at the same time providing analyses that will be of interest to scholars and theorists. As before, chapters begin with short scenarios that make the issues concrete; explain the issues clearly; provide rigorous and provocative discussion; and conclude with a set of study questions.

"Perhaps the greatest strength of this work is that it excels at being both a college course textbook and as a book that advances the basic ideas that comprise the field."

Peter Madsen, Carnegie Melon University

"I believe this is the best text on the market for Computer Ethics."

Day Radebaugh, Wichita State University

"The author does a good job of setting the setting the stage for a discussion on Computer Ethics and the many important factors surrounding this field."

Demetria Enis-Cole, University of North Texas

Ethics at it's best! 12 Feb 2001

By scs9kls@leeds.ac.uk

Format:Paperback

I thought that this book was informative and well-structured. Johnson's insight into the ethical issues involved in both computing and in other areas is outstanding and provided me with a sound knowledge for the course I was studying. My only criticism would be that the book could have been longer!

Repetitive, Not for Techies 11 Feb 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

As another student who was made to read this book for a university, I also found the text to quite repetitive. The points the author is making is spread over 10 pages or more, which makes it hard to focus on the substantive parts. This book is better suited for a philosophy major interested in technology, not a computer scientist interested in philosophy. The book tends to get "muddled" itself by introducing broad topics relating to technology which lead to seemingly off-topic tangents. Much of this book isn't noticably insightful either, falling under the "common sense" category of philosophical reasoning. The writing is clear, I'll give the author that, but by the end, you felt like you took this extremely long journey without getting anywhere. Seek enlightenment elsewhere.

It's OK, but boring... 29 Oct 2007

By Stephen J. Curtis - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have to read this book for a college class. I've only read the first two chapters, but I agree with the other reviews. The content is easy to understand, the author makes some good points. This book can be thought provoking, but overall, it's pretty boring and repetitive.

. 20 Mar 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is painful to read. The writing is clear, but it is so boring and repetitive that I can barely bring myself to pick it up. It seems like a majority of the time she rambles on about issues that aren't even specific to technology, and are, as another reader suggested, common sense. Unfortunately I have to read this book, since I am yet another CS major taking a required course in ethics related to technology. The subject isn't bad, the book is.
