(2018). Science fiction as a value scenario for historical technology. Ethics and Information Technology, 1-5.), in which I discuss the use of science fiction to enhance historical interpretation of values that influenced the creation and adoption (or lack thereof) of technology.  Please don't hesitate to contact me if you or your institution do not have a SpringerLink account, and I welcome feedback.
