ABSTRACT
What is the proper relationship between man and machine? What are the comparative capabilities of humans and machines? How best to interface computers and human society? These questions are of course dwarfed by the all time moral question, what is the proper relation of human and human? But they force themselves on the world at this early juncture in the age of proliferating information technology. It is machine-based information technology, and the overarching question of human to human relations has thus become inextricably tangled with the man–machine question.
