In examining "the intersection of information technologies, power, people and human bodies," the author points out that "information technologies inherit influences from prior historical, cultural, and social events" and that "[they] are on a path of creating greater efficiency, productivity, and profitability, as well as new modes of surveillance and control." She suggests an ethics dialogue for industry participants and the wider public and offers ways to work toward more humanistic goals rather than technocratic ones. Includes a 14-page glossary, a 17-page bibliography and an 11-page index.
