- a timely work on a topic that is constantly in the news;
- considers fundamental questions about the wisdom of reliance on
new technologies, the willingness to trample civil liberties in a
quest for security, and the ways that simple social virtues such as
trust and care can be corroded;
- based on ongoing research by an academic who has worked in the
field for over a decade;
- addresses ethical and political questions that are in danger of
being left to politicians or high-tech companies to discuss;
- presents issues that all of us encounter on a daily basis and hence has a relevance to everyone.
