Computer Ethics

For anyone interested in the issues arising from computer malfunctions and, more perniciously, from misuse, this new edition of “Computer Ethics” is right on the mark. Widely acclaimed for its readability and its balanced and authoritative coverage, “Computer Ethics” has been thoroughly revised and updated with new anecdotes, new revelations, and discussion of the ethical, social, and professional issues arising from the computer revolution, such as computer crime, software theft, hacking, viruses, and the invasion of privacy. An entirely rewritten first chapter is followed by expanded chapters that contain new case studies and analyses. A new final section contains 10 hypothetical scenarios for group discussion. Copies of the ACM Code of Ethics and the ACM-IEEE Computing Curricula are included in the appendices.
