For someone who knows too much about Star Trek and almost nothing about Ethics, this was an excellent book to use as an introduction to Ethics. By using examples and stories from Star Trek to illustrate the ideas and concepts of Ethics, the authors made it easy for someone like me to finally grasp something that has so far eluded my brain. I would recommend for anyone wanted a complete yet brief understand of Ethics and who enjoys sci-fi nerdiness! ( ) no reviews | add a review
