Story4.5 out of 5 stars 64
This urgent and eye-opening book makes the case that protecting humanity's future is the central challenge of our time. If all goes well, human history is just beginning. Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back.

I feel like I had a distance memory of what humanity was facing and what the challenging times we are all going to face in the future. But not enough information to truly grasp what I was considering. This book allowed me to let go some of the fear and approach my future (as a young man) with more consideration and clarity.
Thank you Toby and modern wisdoms Christian William for recommending this book.
