The Cambridge Handbook of
Information puter Ethics
Information munication Technologies (ICTs) have profoundly
changed many aspects of life, including the nature of entertainment, work,
communication, education, health care, industrial production and business,
social relations and conflicts. They have had a radical and widespread impact
on our moral lives and hence on contemporary ethical debates. The
Cambridge Handbook of Information puter Ethics provides an
ambitious and authoritative introduction to the field, with discussions of a
range of topics including privacy, ownership, freedom of speech,
responsibility, technological determinism, the digital divide, cyber warfare
and online pornography. It offers an accessible and thoughtful survey of the
transformations brought about by ICTs and their implications for the future
of human life and society, for the evaluation of behaviour, and for the
evolution of moral values and rights. It will be a valuable book for all who
are interested in the ethical aspects of the information society in which we
live.
