Ethical ripples of creativity and innovation

Summary. This second book follows on the first. I taught a creativity and collaboration undergraduate seminar and for 4 years I focused on ethical considerations of creative work then how creative thinking could be used to proactively benefit the civic domain itself (civic creativity). For two years, students each wrote a "case of the future," researching the state of a particular nascent or emerging innovation (e.g., driverless car, e-cigarette, Bitcoin, happiness as an ultimate life goal) then systematically thinking through the ethical and civic implications (good and bad) that might occur. In addition to being a co-author on all cases, I wrote 3 introductory chapters framing the book and providing ways that readers (or professors) could use the book in ethics-related courses.
