After Dinner Conversation: Technology Ethics Is Out!
Carefully curated stories from our monthly magazine to create a themed short story book about the philosophy and ethics of technology. Perfect for classrooms and book clubs, each story is 1,500-7,000 words and comes with five suggested discussion questions.
We asked AI what the moral solution is in "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"
"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is a short story by Ursula K. Le Guin that presents a moral dilemma. In the story, the happiness and prosperity of the utopian city of Omelas depend on the suffering of a single child. The ethical response for a character in this situation is subjective and depends on the individual's moral principles and values.
It's Easy To Stay Humble When You Know You Know Nothing...
After Dinner Conversation has been going strong for five years, and we have always had requests for teachers/professors to copy and use our short stories in their classrooms. We've always said yes, and that finally got us to thinking, "hey, we should put out themed books!" So, this year, we are. Nine themed books based on previous short stories we have published. The first themed book is "Technology Ethics."
