Description:
This book is not a critique of digital ethics but rather a hack. It develops an exploit kit on the basis of state-of-the-art social theory and uses it to breach the insecure legacy system upon which the discourse of digital ethics is running. It exposes the bugs, the sloppy programming, and the false promises of current digital ethics, and, because it is an ethical hack, it redesigns digital ethics so that it can address the problems of the global network society.
Review Quotes:
"Hacking Digital Ethics is a groundbreaking critique of what human right and individuality can mean in a digitally connected world where people are dependent on the infrastructure of a community. Belliger and Krieger make the case that individuals are at their best when they identify with a community and that communities are only at their best when they identify all of their individuals."--James Felton Keith, Inclusion Researcher, Keith Institute, New York, United States
