"They have done an admirable job of organ-izing the material on a wide range of topics, and 2.0 provides a useful addition to 1.0 for exploring the new debates in this field." -- Derek Leben, Metascience

"The philosophy of technology, particularly its ethics, carries a heavy burden right now. This book is an excellent guide to the reasons why that burden is so pressing, and... offers a really strong roadmap of where we are, and where we ought to go." -- Robin L. Zebrowski, Departments of Philosophy, Psychology and Computer Science, Beloit College, Prometheus
