商品描述

Philosopher Noam Chomsky is famously quoted as saying that technology is neither good nor bad, but simply a neutral tool. He likens it to a hammer, which can be used by carpenters and torturers alike. While the neutrality of tech is an idea that appeals to many technologists, this perspective is out of alignment with today's realities of pervasive ad-tech, surveillance capitalism, algorithmic manipulation, and rising techno-fascism.

We Just Build Hammers applies a lens of speculative and science fiction to connect you with a historical lineage of thinkers and activists in the responsible tech movement. Its narrative spans a century of major technological upheavals: from the advent of the atomic age to the formative years of computing; from the hacker visionaries of the turn of the century to the tech justice revolutionaries of today.

This book challenges technologists to consider for themselves whether they're really just "building hammers"- technologies whose potential for good balances their potential for harm- or if they are unwittingly contributing to systems that exacerbate inequality, inequity, and injustice.

What You Will Learn

    A historic grounding and a science fiction perspective to help untangle the difficult and fraught topic of tech ethics Ways to bring ethical considerations into the development of new technologies How to navigate the increasing complexity of the techno-social world we live and work in

Who This Book is For

Designed to appeal broadly, not just to engineers and technologists, but to anyone interested in the history and future of ethics and technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

哲學家諾姆·喬姆斯基（Noam Chomsky）曾著名地說過，科技既不是好事也不是壞事，而僅僅是一種中立的工具。他將其比作一把錘子，木匠和施虐者都可以使用它。雖然科技的中立性這一觀點吸引了許多技術專家，但這種觀點與當今普遍存在的廣告科技、監控資本主義、算法操控以及日益上升的科技法西斯主義的現實並不相符。

《我們只是建造錘子》（We Just Build Hammers）以推測性和科幻的視角，將你與負責任科技運動中的思想家和活動家的歷史脈絡相連接。其敘述跨越了一個世紀的重大技術變革：從原子時代的到來到計算機的形成期；從世紀之交的駭客先驅到今天的科技正義革命者。

本書挑戰技術專家思考他們是否真的只是「建造錘子」——那些善的潛力與惡的潛力相平衡的技術——還是他們無意中在助長加劇不平等、不公正和不義的系統。

**你將學到什麼**

- 歷史背景和科幻視角，幫助理清科技倫理這一困難且棘手的主題
- 將倫理考量納入新技術開發的方法
- 如何在我們生活和工作的科技社會中應對日益複雜的情況

**本書適合誰**

本書旨在廣泛吸引讀者，不僅限於工程師和技術專家，還包括任何對倫理和科技的歷史與未來感興趣的人。
