A new approach to teaching computing and technology ethics using science fiction stories.

A new approach to teaching computing and technology ethics using science fiction stories.

Should autonomous weapons be legal? Will we be cared for by robots in our old age? Does the efficiency of online banking outweigh the risk of theft? From communication to travel to medical care, computing technologies have transformed our daily lives, for better and for worse. But how do we know when a new development comes at too high a cost? Using science fiction stories as case studies of ethical ambiguity, this engaging textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to ethical theory and its application to contemporary developments in technology and computer science.

Computing and Technology Ethics- Engaging through Science Fiction first introduces the major ethical frameworks- deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, communitarianism, and the modern responses of responsibility ethics, feminist ethics, and capability ethics. It then applies these frameworks to many of the modern issues arising in technology ethics including privacy, computing, and artificial intelligence. A corresponding anthology of science fiction brings these quandaries to life and challenges students to ask ethical questions of themselves and their work.

Uses science fiction case studies to make ethics education engaging and fun
Trains students to recognize, evaluate, and respond to ethical problems as they arise
Features anthology of short stories from internationally acclaimed writers including Ken Liu, Elizabeth Bear, Paolo Bacigalupi, and T. C. Boyle to animate ethical challenges in computing technology
Written by interdisciplinary author team of computer scientists and ethical theorists
Includes a robust suite of instructor resources, such as pedagogy guides, story frames, and reflection questions
