Unabridged Audiobook
Brilliant. Not only does this book prioritise what we should really fear and provide means by which we can fight against existential risks, it also paints a beautiful and inspiring picture of our far future potential, which we, the people of now, could save.
essential read for all humans
Such an important topic! Excellent book.
Sterile and robotic, latching onto a popular topic but failing to deliver innovation
Great book for making you think about our existence as a whole. I agree that it's a bit too general, but it is a good introduction to this topic. This book is jargon free and easy to follow, but the narrator made some unnecessary alterations in his pronunciation. I don't get why he had to say "data" using the American pronunciation when everything else is British?!
Decent but dry book. Nothing inspiring.
bit too general, somewhat obvious and lacks a few possibilities all used causes seem prudent to consider but the method of risk evaluation seems unfounded
I liked the book and the general message in it and while I understand why the author didn’t go further, general disbelief in and the lack of other authors mentioning the possibility of pre historic human civilization that did indeed encounter a catastrophic event similar to some of the scenarios mentioned in this book. While there is no proof of a technologically advanced, to current levels, pre historic human civilization there is evidence of a wide spread collapse of a human civilization that is not acknowledged today by most. I would like to hear these things added in examples and theories.
