    Reviews & endorsements

    "This collection of 18 essay is rich in ideas on the implications of information technology and morality. Variety is the collection's strong point, though there are certainly some common themes, including the nature of identity and agency...This work will appeal to scholars in several disciples, including communication, political science, computer science, and philosophy. Summing up: Recommended."
    -S.E. Forschler, Choice
