So I just noticed that the ethics paper in the PWL repo is "Reflecting on Trusting Trust", which, IMO, has a few things going for it:

  • It's only three pages long, so it's a nice little way to dip our toes in the water
  • Even though the paper is 34 years old, I would say it's still relevant - the Rust compiler team was dealing with the issue described in the paper only two years ago!

If we wanted to pick a gamification paper, I think "Defining Gamification - A Service Marketing Perspective" would be a good start, since it's also quite short, and defining the term we're reading about would be a good foray into the topic, I think =)

Among the topics you posted above, the following stick out to me as being particularly interesting:

  • Privacy and the Internet of Things
  • Ethics and concerns of social networking
  • Video game design and identity
  • Ethics of publishing data
