He was author or editor of seven books on social aspects of computing and related topics, including Computer Ethics, from which the selection in Technology and the Future is taken. |

Collection of postings regarding the first edition of Forester's book and an op-ed based on the book presumably posted by Forester. The op-ed is entitled, "Hackers: Clamp Down Now," and, not surprisingly, it stimulated some rather heated replies.
