A lot of people might not appreciate that the extent of ethics in tech is not just wordplay. Duty, virtue, and ethical outcomes feature in all deployments of new technology, and cannot be reduced to algorithms. This book provides a valuable, and short, survey of the field and resources available to the people making those ethical decisions.
