The Social Codes of Tech Workers

“In this beautifully crafted book, Robert Dorschel explores the ambiguities and contradictions faced by American and German tech workers who want to “do good” at the same time as they help make the digital world go round. In a high-wire act, this author meets the challenge of capturing the hearts and minds of tech workers at the intersection of their work and moral commitments, as he aims to unterstand how they see the world and understand themselves. In doing so, he makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the perils of tech professions at a time when they are only gaining in importance. This book will surely be widely read and discussed.” —Michèle Lamont, author of Money, Morals and Manners, Professor of Sociology, Harvard University
