About this book
Toby Ord considers the dangers that could permanently end humanity's prospects, arguing that technological power has grown faster than the wisdom and cooperation needed to control it. Natural catastrophes, nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence enter an account of existential risk. The book frames protecting humanity's long-term potential as a practical challenge involving present dangers, future threats and the societies that create them.
