Gift of Fire, A: Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues for Computing Technology

Did not actually come with fire, author needs to recheck them sources

I'm being forced to read this for some college course I don't want to take and will have no future value for me but I have to say, this is a very well written textbook. Usually, textbooks involving social, legal, and ethical issues are obscenely biased and therefore impossible to read. However, as I read through A Gift of Fire, I was actually blown away by how fairly written it was. If the author has personal biases, they were kept out of this book.In a day and age where college consists mostly of having unwanted views shoved down your throat, A Gift of Fire was a breath of fresh air. Props to Sara Baase for fairly presenting multiple sides of every issue. This is the perfect example of how educational textbooks should be written.

Used as a rental for Computer Ethics class. It arrived brand new and was full of interesting stories. I think it was slightly overpriced for a rental or at least at the time purchased it. $101 for one semester, although the new copy had just been released.

Good book for college if in computer programming

I like the book, initially rented it for a class, arrived in a like new shape.

I like learning the ways technology is used. It was used for my college classes.

This is the only book that I've bought so far in college. I have no regrets.

Perfect for school

University

Excellent quality. Would buy from again
