What We Owe The Future: A Million-Year View (Paperback)

'A brilliant book that makes clear both how much is at stake when it comes to the long term, and the incredible opportunities we have to shape it. It has changed how I think about my time on earth.' - Max Roser

'MacAskill's case for "longtermism" - "the idea that positively influencing the longterm future is a key moral priority of our time" - is overwhelmingly persuasive. But it's also unapologetically optimistic and bracingly realistic: this is by some distance the most inspiring book on "ethical living" I've ever read... a powerful argument in favour of freedom of speech and viewpoint diversity... The overall promise of this thrilling book is of a life both less burdened by ethical guilt - by beating yourself up over every choice of groceries or transportation - and much more effective at actually helping humanity.' - The Guardian
