Nanotechnology & Society is a collection of sixteen papers
focused on the most urgent issues arising from nanotechnology today
and in the near future. Written by leading researchers, policy
experts, and nanoethics scholars worldwide, the book is divided
into five units: foundational issues; risk and regulation; industry
and policy; the human condition; and selected global issues. The
essays tackle such contentious issues as environmental impact,
health dangers, medical benefits, intellectual property,
professional code of ethics, privacy, international governance, and
more.

The robot population is rising on Earth and other planets. (Mars is
inhabited entirely by robots.) As robots slip into more domains of
human life-from the operating room to the bedroom-they take on our
morally important tasks and decisions, as well as create new risks
from psychological to physical. This makes it all the more urgent
to study their ethical, legal, and policy impacts. To help the
robotics industry and broader society, we need to not only press
ahead on a wide range of issues, but also identify new ones
emerging as quickly as the field is evolving. For instance, where
military robots had received much attention in the past (and are
still controversial today), this volume looks toward autonomous
cars here as an important case study that cuts across diverse
issues, from liability to psychology to trust and more. And because
robotics feeds into and is fed by AI, the Internet of Things, and
other cognate fields, robot ethics must also reach into those
domains, too. Expanding these discussions also means listening to
new voices; robot ethics is no longer the concern of a handful of
scholars. Experts from different academic disciplines and
geographical areas are now playing vital roles in shaping ethical,
legal, and policy discussions worldwide. So, for a more complete
study, the editors of this volume look beyond the usual suspects
for the latest thinking. Many of the views as represented in this
cutting-edge volume are provocative-but also what we need to push
forward in unfamiliar territory.
