The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity

byToby Ord

Focused on existential Risk and the Future of Humanity, The Precipice brings Toby Ord's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of nature and philosophy. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
