Abstract:
"Cyberethics explores the moral dilemmas that are arising as computer technology penetrates further into our professional, private, and social lives. Following an opening section concerned with defining the nature of this new moral landscape, four main issues are discussed: anonymity, personal identity, and the moral dimensions of creating new personalities; privacy, in light of the ability of computers to store vast amounts of information on individuals, and the harrowing specter of a Big Brother society in the not-too-distant future; ownership of intellectual property, copyright law, and the protection of these rights in cyberspace; and the impact of computers on democracy and community."--BOOK JACKET.
