Toby Ord

Toby Ord is an Australian philosopher at the University of Oxford who researches existential risk — the threats that could permanently curtail humanity's potential. He is the founder of Giving What We Can, a movement for effective charitable giving. The Precipice, available as an audiobook and book, argues that humanity is at a pivotal moment and examines the risks that could end or fundamentally damage civilisation. Ord writes with moral urgency and intellectual clarity for readers and listeners.
