  We live in an age of awesome technological potential. From nanotechnology to synthetic organisms,
new technologies stand to revolutionize whole domains of human experience. But with awesome potential comes awesome
risk: drones can deliver a bomb as readily as they can a new smartphone; makers and hackers can 3D-print guns as well as
tools; and supercomputers can short-circuit Wall Street just as easily as they can manage your portfolio.
  
 
One thing these technologies can’t do is answer the profound moral issues they raise. Who should be held
accountable when they go wrong? What responsibility do we, as creators and users, have for the technologies we build? In
A Dangerous Master, ethicist Wendell Wallach tackles such difficult questions with hard-earned authority, imploring both
producers and consumers to face the moral ambiguities arising from our rapid technological growth. There is no doubt
that scientific research and innovation are a source of promise and productivity, but, as Wallach, argues, technological
development is at risk of becoming a juggernaut beyond human control. Examining the players, institutions, and values
lobbying against meaningful regulation of everything from autonomous robots to designer drugs, A Dangerous Master
proposes solutions for regaining control of our technological destiny.
  
  Wallach’s nuanced study
offers both stark warnings and hope, navigating both the fears and hype surrounding technological innovations. An
engaging, masterful analysis of the elements we must manage in our quest to survive as a species, A Dangerous Master
forces us to confront the practical—and moral—purposes of our creations.
  
  
 
Reviews
  
  “Hordes of technologies emerge in lockstep with warnings of their risks. Ethicist
Wendell Wallach sorts the hysteria from the hazards in this magisterial study.”
  —Nature
  
  “This book is a must-read for venture capitalists, investors, asset managers, HFT firms and day traders
– as well as concerned civic leaders and politicians.”
  —Hazel Henderson, Seeking Alpha
 

  “This appeal for deliberate and thoughtful approaches to humankind’s future will find its audience
among those interested in ethics, public policy, and the future of health care.”
  —Library Journal
  
  “[T]his thoughtful polemic convincingly argues that ‘In striving to answer the question
“can we do this?” too few ask “should we do this?”’.... Readers will admire this astute
analysis while harboring the uneasy feeling that the barn door seems stuck open.”
  —Publishers
Weekly
  
  “A well-mounted argument that deserves wide consideration.”
  —Kirkus
Reviews
  
  “Wendell Wallach, it seems, is always a few years ahead of the rest of us. In this
marvelous book, he takes us to the technological frontier and shows us where, why, and how our most promising
technologies could turn on us. Wallach is levelheaded and thoughtful, combining his encyclopedic knowledge of emerging
technology with a sense of history and an abiding respect for humanity. A Dangerous Master is fascinating, important,
and—in defiance of its own gravity—a joy to read.”
  —Joshua Greene, Director, Harvard
Moral Cognition Lab and author of Moral Tribes
  
  "This timely book offers a balanced assessment of the
upsides and risks of a wide range of fast-developing technologies. It helps us to think more clearly about what the
world will be like in 2050, and deserves a wide readership."
  —Martin Rees, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology
and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge, and author of Universe and Just Six Numbers
  
  "When it comes to
technology, humanity is playing for supremely high stakes—and it's a game we can't walk away from. In his new
book A Dangerous Master, Wendell Wallach surveys a wide range of technological risks, and proposes how we humans may
evade disaster, leaving the possibility of wondrously good outcomes."
  —Vernor Vinge, author of A Fire Upon
the Deep and Rainbows End
  
  "It is increasingly difficult to weigh the risks associated with new
technologies against the benefits they may bring. Experts often disagree, the public is not certain whose views to
trust, and politicians and the market take short-term perspectives that may not be best in deciding whether or not to
plunge ahead in the face of uncertainty. A Dangerous Master gives us a balanced and timely guide to navigating the
troubled waters of decision-making when new technologies appear. Read it—your uncertainty may not diminish but
your ability to cope with it will increase."
  —Arthur Caplan, Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty
Professor of Bioethics, New York University Langone Medical Center
  
  “Wendell Wallach has done all of
us a service. He has alerted us in detail, and provocatively, that there are dangers as well as gains in our national
romance with innovative technologies. Like all heated romances, they can be full of drama and distress, but hard to
ignore. His account of the troubled technology romance is well told, and it is one we need to hear.”
 
—Daniel Callahan, President Emeritus, The Hastings Center
  
  “It would be hard to find a more
thoughtful, better prepared guide through the difficult terrain of emerging technologies than Wendell Wallach, as he
demonstrates yet again in this comprehensive, erudite, and highly readable book. This is a must read volume for anyone
who wants to understand the world we have already created, not to mention the one that is rapidly coming into being as
technological evolution, already fast, continues to accelerate.”
  —Braden Allenby, Professor of Civil
and Environmental Engineering, Arizona State University
  
  “Wendell Wallach’s A Dangerous
Master does a masterful job of describing in an accessible but precise manner the emerging technologies that will
transform our lives and society while also delving into the profound and fascinating ethical and social implications of
these technologies.”
  —Gary Marchant, Regents’ Professor of Law, Sandra Day O’Connor
College of Law, Arizona State University
