“ In these ways, computing can be weapons like guns can be weapons:”
the majority of the subheadings are written in a complete sentence except for the first and last one. I suggest changing the first one to “interface technologies standardize, which erases diversity” or “interface technologies erases diversity when standardized." For the last subheading, I suggest changing it to "interface technologies produces physical and e-waste."
Perhaps in that final sentence of the introduction, you can list out what the four ways are?
"User interface hardware, such as the sensor packages in phone, define what computers are capable of sensing." should be "in phones" ?
"If forces us to take some responsibility as accomplices for the actions of others." should be "It"

I think it would be useful for the three previous problem section to talk about specific examples of existing efforts that tackle these problems as well to inspire us. (How do designers fight against standardization / deep fakes? Or are they wicked problems that designers aren't meant to solve?)
Maybe at the end of each section instead of saying "as a designer, you decide" it could ask a question like "as a designer, what do you decide?".
Nice bits
Ethics is all over this book, mentioned in every chapter slightly; so it was fitting to wrap it all up with this chapter. I have no critique here. There is a lot to unpack when it comes to ethics and this is was just a simple few paragraphs on the importance of designing ethically. I have enjoyed the readings for this class. Thank you
Thank you Amy and Neil! These readings and this class were very informative.
