Humans that care about those that come after should read this.
Including compelling arguments for WHY to care about being a good ancestor, and many principles about HOW one can go about becoming one there is also some specific what to do directions and very practical specifics.
Think about resource overshoot day, think about the seventh generation, call on rule makers to care about future people.

You don't have to agree with the conclusions to find this a very thought-provoking book. Thank you for opening my mind.

While the tone of the book is at times overly eager and a bit like self help the actual ideas are very interesting. The first book I read that is focused on the ethical question of representing the interests of future generations.
The book is complete in coverage of different dimensions of the problem although often not critical enough of bordeline science and greenwash.

Roman gives a good overview of the reasons to think long-term, and how. Not groundbreaking if you're already interested in x-risk, EA, etc.
But still quite a strong distillation of memes and examples of long-term thinking.
