Abstract

The Information Game: Ethical Issues in a Microchip World is a relatively nontechnical survey of some of the important ethical and social issues raised by the rapid growth of information technologies, primarily sophisticated databases. These include issues of political oppression, personal privacy, dehumanization, ownership rights, and the moral status of computers as "thinkers." The book is clearly written, useful in developing some important distinctions necessary to debate the relevant issues, but lacks the kind of sustained argumentation that such problems demand.
