#1 The future of humanity is in our hands. We must act now to protect ourselves and our long-term potential, or risk losing it forever.

#2 We have the ability to end the period of escalating risk and safeguard our future. It all depends on how quickly we can come to understand and accept the fresh responsibilities that come with our unprecedented power.

#3 The Precipice is a book about existential risks, risks that threaten the destruction of humanity’s long-term potential. It covers a lot of ground, from the physics behind them to the moral philosophy behind them.

#4 I have come to realize that the risks to humanity’s future are just as real and just as urgent, yet they are even more neglected. I have become focused on addressing these risks, and helping groups such as the UK Prime Minister’s Office address them.
