Second review!!!

I just stumbled across this short (but positive) review from Choice Reviews Online; it recommends the book for all libraries. 

I also discovered that you can see excerpts from both reviews on the "Reviews" tab on Springer's page for the book. (The tab is kind of inconspicuous.) 

If you spot any other reviews, please let me know.

Review of the PICT book!!!

This is the first review I've seen of my book, Emerging Pervasive Information and Communication Technologies (PICT): Ethical Challenges, Opportunities and Safeguards. It is mostly positive, but also challenges some aspects of the book.

My favorite part is the last paragraph:

In sum, this collection of essays is accessible and inviting. While the authors sometime uncover more questions than they answer, I take this to be a virtue of a collaborative work on emerging technology. The book would be suitable as an advanced undergraduate or graduate text, and is interesting for its variety of approaches as well as the many examples of PICT that are described herein.
