In this instant New York Times bestseller, a renowned philosopher
puts forth the case for longtermism
The fate of the world - and the future - is in our hands. Now with a new
foreword, What We Owe the Future argues for longtermism: that
positively influencing the distant future is our time's key moral
priority. It's not enough to reverse climate change or avert a pandemic.
We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter
the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest
beings are digital.
If we make wise choices now, our grandchildren will thrive, knowing we
did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope and
beauty.
"To take these ideas seriously is a truly radical endeavor -- one with
the power to change the world and even your life."--Ezra Klein, New
York Times
"An intellectually thrilling exploration of moral philosophy and human
history in the hands of a very skilled thinker and clear writer."--Kevin
J. Delaney, The Charter
