From the reviews: "This book will interest students of modern ethics, psychology, and the human factors of cyberspace. ... Ploug's work is best suited for a graduate seminar. ... if there is a need for face time in ethics and human interactions, this book is a valuable first step." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2009) "A book on the ethics of interactions in cyberspace is both timely and important. ... written in three sections, nine chapters and is designed to appeal to different readerships. ... Ploug ... more interested in ethical theory. His interest is in the logical relationships between different properties in cyberspace, how we establish and act on our beliefs about others, our beliefs about the world ... . To my mind, these are all important questions of epistemology, including for phenomenologists." (Erich von Dietze, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 14 (12), March, 2010)
