Course books abound about specific subjects like scientific evidence, intellectual property, information privacy, or cybersecurity, but none appear to comprehensively cover the subject of law and technology as a stand-alone course. This is so notwithstanding that schools around the world are increasingly offering elective classes and certificate programs in the area. Consequently, students and instructors of law and technology lack a single text and must either cull together disparate sources to produce a syllabus, commit to a course book that provides excessive depth relative to the general topic, or offer an atomized treatment of the topic. This book—“Law and Emerging Technology”—by Timothy M. Ravich intends to fill the gap in the market, providing one source with global coverage of key cases and materials that are instructive about the intersection of law and STEM. This inherently interdisciplinary book is designed to prepare students in law school, college, or graduate programs to assess, apply, and reimagine rules concerning emerging technologies, while also appealing to a general audience (i.e., non-law / non-STEM). The owners, consumers, or targets of the data, devices, and designs coming to market should know the extent to which the law anticipates or responds to generational advances in the STEM disciplines.
