What We Owe the Future

The book explores the concept of longtermism, arguing that the lives of future generations matter just as much as those alive today. It examines how humanity can navigate critical moral and existential challenges over the coming centuries to safeguard human civilization. The author discusses technological risks, population ethics, and the moral priorities required to ensure a flourishing long-term future. Ultimately, it presents a philosophical framework for how current decisions shape the vast sweep of human history.
