The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity
Philosophy
Ord's careful estimation of the threats - nuclear, biological, AI - that could end humanity's long future, and a moral case for taking them seriously. The book sits squarely in the existential-risk and longtermism literature Vitalik draws on when he writes about d/acc and defensive accelerationism.
