If all goes well, human history is just the beginning. Humanity is about two hundred thousand years old, but the Earth will remain habitable for hundreds of millions more. Enough time for millions of future generations, enough to end disease, poverty and injustice forever and enough to create heights of flourishing unimaginable today.
Such a lifespan places present-day humanity in its earliest infancy. A vast and extraordinary adulthood awaits.
This book argues that safeguarding Humanity's future is the defining challenge of our time. For we stand at a crucial moment in the history of our species. Fuelled by technological progress, our power has grown so great that for the first time in humanity's long history
We have the capacity to destroy ourselves. Severing our entire future and everything we could become.
