This intriguing collection explores how tort law has evolved in the 21st century, as it responds to emerging social, industrial, and technological challenges.

It examines topics with particular modern-day salience such as AI and negligence, and internet harassment and privacy. The contributors are recognised experts in their fields, and they bring a broader common law perspective to the question. This is an extremely important contribution to scholarship in the field.
