Avoiding the Worst: How to Prevent a Moral Catastrophe | Full Audiobook on S-Risks (Suffering Risks)

Описание: The Center for Reducing Suffering is pleased to be able to share the full, unedited audiobook of Avoiding the Worst: How to Prevent a Moral Catastrophe, by Tobias Baumann.

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.

You can purchase the audiobook from Audible now, or access it for free on YouTube. Avoiding the Worst will also be available from all major audiobook retailers in the coming days.

Written by Center for Reducing Suffering's co-founder, Tobias Baumann, and narrated by Adrian Nelson, this audiobook is a first-of-its-kind introduction to s-risks (risks of astronomical suffering).
