The urgent concerns covered include cybersecurity, globalization, environmental effects, cybercrime, and ethical issues. These should cause readers to critically explore the societal implications of technology and the moral obligations of those who build, use, and regulate it.

The book's last chapters make predictions about probable developments in the sociology of information technology,
