While self-driving cars and autonomous weapon systems have received agreat deal of attention in media and research, the general requirements ofethical life in today’s digitalizing reality have not been made sufficientlyvisible and evaluable. This collection of articles from both distinguished andemerging authors working at the intersections of philosophy, literary theory,media, and technology does not intend to fix new moral rules. Instead, thevolume explores the ethos of digital environments, asking how we can orientourselves in them and inviting us to renewed moral reflection in the face ofdilemmas they entail. The authors show how contemporary digital technologiesmodel our perception, narration as well as our conceptions of truth,and investigate the ethical, moral, and juridical consequences of makingpublic and societal infrastructures computational. They argue that we mustmake the structures of the digital environments visible and learn to care forthem.
