Computer ethics : cautionary tales and ethical dilemmas in computing / by Forester, Tom.(CARDINAL)156191; Morrison, Perry.(CARDINAL)198943;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: our computerized society -- Computer crime -- Software theft -- Hacking and viruses -- Unreliable computers -- The invasion of privacy -- AI and expert systems -- Computerizing the workplace.Computer Ethics exposes the dangers of letting society rely too heavily on computers. Written by two insiders, it provides balanced and authoritative coverage of such topics as software unreliability, computer crime, software theft, hacking, viruses, unmanageable complexity, invasions of privacy, "artificial intelligence," and degraded work. The authors describe these problem areas with fascinating, often dramatic examples of computer abuse and misuse, augmented by extensive notes and references, role-playing exercises, and hypothetical situations. There are suggestions for further discussion at the end of each chapter. Forester and Morrison argue that it is the nature of computer systems to be unreliable, insecure, and unpredictable, and that society must face the consequences. Computer Ethics is an outgrowth of the authors' work with computer science students, focusing on the ethical dilemmas these students will confront as professionals. -- from dust jacket.

Zero point / by Asher, Neal L.,1961-(CARDINAL)356425;
Thanks to Alan Saul, the Committee's network of control is a smoking ruin and its robotic enforcers lie dormant. But power abhors a vacuum and, scrambling from the wreckage, comes the ruthless Serene Galahad. She must act while the last vestiges of Committee infrastructure remain intact-- and she has the means to ensure command is hers. On Mars, Var Delex fights for the survival of Antares Base, while the Argus Space Station hurls towards the red planet. And she knows whomever, or whatever, trashed Earth is still aboard. And aboard Argus Station, Alan Saul's mind has expanded into the local computer network. In the process, he uncovers the ghastly experiments of the Humanoid Unit Development, the possibility of eternal life, and a madman who may hold the keys to interstellar flight.
