Résumé
If all goes well, human history is just beginning. But this vast future is under threat. Oxford philosopher Toby Ord explores the risks to humanity, from climate change and nuclear war, to the arguably greater threats on the horizon, including engineered pandemics and unaligned artificial intelligence. The Precipice is a clear and rigorous call for a new understanding of our age : a major reorientation in the way we see the world, our history, and the role we play in it.
