[Air-L] Suggested materials for Computers and Society course for Computer Science majors?

[Douglas Zytko]

Thanks Corinne, and to all who have publicly or privately emailed me. (I’ve
been thanking everyone through private emails so as not to flood the
mailing list!). Any additional suggestions are welcomed, of course. I've
been really enjoying the ones sent so far!
