The Precipice

The questions tackled by this book are as grand as they get. What are the different existential risks that threaten humanity? How do we minimise them? Why this should be a priority cause especially this century?
Those, and many more, are explored by the author drawing from extensive and varied research (e.g. philosophy, ethics, statistics, science, technology, biology, astronomy etc.).

What is at stake? Well; everything.

Highly recommend reading. Feel free to skip the extensive endnotes unless something catches your interest. Book reads much more fluidly without the back and forth.

I have been interested in x-risks for a while now and this was an incredibly useful resource to inform my thinking and provide food for thought.

(BTW read the Three Body Problem trilogy for a great science fiction series covering similar topics)
