Recenzii

A story of the greatest risks to humanity's future, from the climate crisis and nuclear war to pandemics and artificial intelligence
A powerfully argued book that alerts us to what is perhaps the most important - and yet also most neglected - problem we will ever face
The Precipice separates science from hype and will remain the definitive work on existential risk for a long time to come
A fascinating and persuasive guide to the most important topic of all: how our species will survive the risks we pose to our continued existence
This book is a wake-up call to the existential threats of nuclear and biological weapons and the urgent need for action. A must-read that galvanises us to play a role in addressing these risks
Humanity has never been more vulnerable - there's now a one-in-six chance that civilisation won't make it to the end of the century, argues a highly influential philosopher . . . Ord's analysis of the science is exemplary . . . Thrillingly written
Many people have recently found that they want to read books offering the grandest perspectives possible on human existence, such as Sapiens . . . Toby Ord's new book is a startling and rigorous contribution to this genre that deserves to be just as widely read
Splendid . . . The Precipice is a powerful book, written with a philosopher's eye . . . Ord's love for humanity and hope for its future is infectious
Urgent and vaguely prophetic . . . In a year in which our everyday lives were upended by the unexpected (or rather the expected yet neglected), The Precipice is a good way to put everything in perspective
The Precipice is a fascinating book, one that showcases both the knowledge of its author and his humanity
A book that seems made for the present moment
A story of the greatest risks to humanity's future, from the climate crisis and nuclear war to pandemics and artificial intelligence
