Let this book take you on a Phi-Fi adventure."- William Irwin, Ph. D. - Philosophy Professor, King's College"After Dinner Conversation has taken up the initiative to write themed collections of short stories that fit focused ethics courses - say, a course on bioethics, AI ethics, Tech ethics etc. These collections can offer a spine for such courses or individual stories could be added to a course as illustrative material to stimulate discussion. The stories are lively and engaging and followed by a set of questions to start classroom discussion. Also, outside of educational contexts, the stories will work nicely to stimulate conversation in families, elder hostels, youth clubs, or book groups. Give it a try - I trust that you will enjoy working with the material in this book!"- Luc Bovens, Ph. D. - Philosophy Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ???
