Rezension

"Overall, This is Technology Ethics: An Introduction is well written, philosophically engaging, thought provoking, and timely--considering our society is in the midst of working out the ethical implications surrounding emerging technologies. This book will be of benefit to instructors teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in technology ethics or introductory ethics courses that want to incorporate technology ethics into the curriculum. Reading the entire book has academic merit and is a fascinating read, but you could also choose to only read certain chapters. This is a testament to the well-organized structure of the book. Finally, footnotes in philosophy books tend to be exclusively concerned with written material. Nyholm extends the content of his foot-notes by pointing readers to podcasts and videos that are sure to be useful for students, instructors, and those that want to take a deep dive into the fascinating world of technology ethics." (AI and Ethics, 2023).
 
"This Is Technology Ethics is an engaging and enjoyable introduction for anyone who is interested in the ethical implications of advancing technologies. It brings a helpful level of structure to a field of philosophy that is still in the process of being developed. Nyholm's clear language and use of real and fictional examples make the book accessible to a wide audience, as well as a valuable addition to Wiley's 'This Is Philosophy' series." (Journal of Applied Philosophy, 2023).
