D'Anna, SUNY Delhi, CHOICE * Edmunds persuasively argues that the future is about predictability and that the sooner emerging options are identified, the better. This book is a must read. * B. A. D'Anna, CHOICE * Future Morality, edited by David Edmonds, brings together twenty-nine crack ethicists (the promotional materials refer to them as a "philosophical task-force") to tackle novel ethical challenges - the moral problems of the future. . . . Readers will be hard-pressed to find a better introduction to a range of contemporary moral problems. * Simone Gubler, Times Literary Supplement * Overall, there is a lot to like in this book... The prose is readable and refreshingly jargon-free... and provides information one wouldn't necessarily come across in general-interest publications. * Antoinette LaFarge, Quest: Journal of the Theosophical Society in America * In this wide-ranging anthology, philosopher Edmonds... brings together some of the brightest minds in philosophy and ethics to discuss the future... This comprehensive overview of looming ethical issues goes a long way toward equipping readers with the tools to work out their own answers to sticky questions. * Publisher's Weekly * I would recommend this book to any academic library serving philosophy, medicine, or science departments. The individual essays would make excellent additions to a course pack for professors teaching in those areas, and the wide variety of those essays ensures that any patrons researching ethics in future studies would find something useful. Public libraries would also likely find this to be a worthwhile purchase, as the topics are eye-catching and thought-provoking, and the authors have done an excellent job of keeping their writing accessible throughout. * Michelle Terriss, Journal of Information Ethics *
