Full Description
How will law, regulation and ethics govern a future of fast-changing technologies? 'From current controversies over Internet content, privacy and radicalisation, to science fiction and Black Mirror visions of the future, pervasive fears exist that technology inevitably outpaces law and social control' 'Future Law' responds to these fears by exploring how law and ethics can foresee and control new technologies that challenge our societal norms and expectations. Bringing together cutting-edge authors from academia, legal practice and the technology industry, this book explores and leverages the power of human imagination in understanding, critiquing and improving the legal responses to technological change.
