Arguing that computer science has not been as successful as it could be, the author presents a critique of current activity where computer scientists are attempting to follow a methodological path set out by traditional views of the natural sciences and engineering and mathematics disciplines. Leith questions the validity of computer science as an academic discipline, and expresses concern with the education of computer scientists. He relates computer science to social theory, using examples from computing and law, reasoning that we have attempted to dismiss the social context of computing while emphasising the formal. The text will benefit graduate and undergraduate students of computer science, artificial intelligence and the sociology of science, as well as those dealing with computers and the law.
