How can we avoid worst-case scenarios?

From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Black Mirror, we are all familiar with the tropes of dystopian science fiction. But what if worst-case scenarios could actually become reality? And what if we could do something now to put the world on a better path?

In Avoiding the Worst, Tobias Baumann lays out the concept of risks of future suffering (s-risks). With a focus on s-risks that are both realistic and avoidable, he argues that we have strong reasons to consider their reduction a top priority. Finally, he turns to the question of what we can do to help steer the world away from s-risks and towards a brighter future.

One of very few books on this topic, I can’t believe there aren’t more. Hopefully this book will inspire more work. Thoughtful, important arguments by the author. Though I think I’m left more compelled by Magnus Vinding’s books on adjacent topics, I think this may be a matter of taste and interests, and this book will likely appeal to many people on this extremely important topic.

Very important topic, compelling argument
