Technologies have altered our lives, opinions and attitudes dramatically. Many of these changes are desirable, but in the past people have also suffered many unexpected, undesirable impacts. This book explores how engineers, policy makers and users can take responsibility for the influence of upcoming technologies on our societies. It does so by exploring how technologies do actually interact with our factual beliefs, options and moral ideas, and it provides some vital concepts and questions that support imagining future technological and social change.
