What We Owe The Future

"What We Owe the Future" is William MacAskill’s daring, realistic and highly optimistic perspective on the future of human civilization.

We are only in the first steps in the history of human civilization. The Sun will sterilize the Earth in five hundred million years and the dying of the last star is one hundred trillion years away. Therefore, we have to protect the humankind not only for today but also for the future. It a key moral priority of our time. In "What We Owe the Future" William MacAskill investigates how we secure the future of human civilization and why we shouldn’t forget those many whose fate we form today.
