Martin Sand explores the problems of responsibility at the early visionary stages of
technological development. He discusses the increasingly dominant concept of innovation and
outlines how narratives about the future are currently used to facilitate technological change
to foster networks and to raise public awareness for innovations. This set of activities is
under increasing scrutiny as a form of visioneering. The author discusses intentionality and
freedom as important albeit fuzzy preconditions for being responsible. He distinguishes being
from holding responsible and explores this distinction's effects on the problem of moral luck.
Finally he develops a virtue ethical framework to discuss visioneers' and innovators'
responsibilities.
