A discussion of the new problems created for society by our increasing reliance upon computers. The book asks questions about what should be done when things go wrong, how to prevent hackers disrupting our systems and how the creation of computer viruses should be treated. The book is intended as a basis for courses on computer ethics offered in university and college computer science departments and may also be of interest to the general reader concerned with the wider social implications of our obsession with new technology.
