An approachable introduction to the philosophical study of ethical
dilemmas in technology In the Technology Age, innovations in
medical, communications, and weapons technologies have given rise
to many new ethical questions: Are technologies always
value-neutral tools? Are human values and human prejudices
sometimes embedded in technologies? Should we merge with the
technologies we use? Is it ethical to use autonomous weapons
systems in warfare? What should a self-driving car do if it detects
an unavoidable crash? Can robots have morally relevant properties?
This is Technology Ethics: An Introduction provides an accessible
overview of the sub-field of philosophy that focuses on the ethical
implications of new technologies. Requiring no previous background

and ethical questions. Discusses how various technologies influence
