★★★★☆

The Responsible XR Playbook offers a compelling take on Extended Reality, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Ethical Design is excellent, I found the sections on Human-Centered Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Virtual Reality that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Ethics in Technology more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Ethics in Technology will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Augmented Reality, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved The Responsible XR Playbook! It completely changed my perspective on Extended Reality. At first I wasn't sure about XR Development, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Ethics in Technology is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Virtual Reality Ethics. What I appreciated most was how the book made Extended Reality feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
