Reviews for Understanding Digital Responsibilities

‘Most problems today, including cybercrime, are because those who profit from digital innovation do not understand or dodge responsibility. Here is the playbook for how to do better.’ Angela Sasse, Ruhr University Bochum ‘Questions about ‘responsibility’ are perhaps the most under-explored dimension of the digital transformation of the last three decades. This book provides an excellent framework for thinking ourselves out of this muddle.’ Madeline Carr, University College London
