In this instant New York Times bestseller, a renowned philosopher puts forth the case for longtermism

The fate of the world - and the future - is in our hands. Now with a new foreword, What We Owe the Future argues for longtermism: that positively influencing the distant future is our time's key moral priority. It's not enough to reverse climate change or avert a pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital.

If we make wise choices now, our grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope and beauty.

To take these ideas seriously is a truly radical endeavor -- one with the power to change the world and even your life.--Ezra Klein, New York Times

An intellectually thrilling exploration of moral philosophy and human history in the hands of a very skilled thinker and clear writer.--Kevin J. Delaney, The Charter
