What We Owe the Future by William MacAskill
dark
hopeful
informative
inspiring

slow-paced
5.0
I disagreed with a bunch of statements in this book. For example, the "assumption of neutrality", if I remember the term correctly, seems like a massive strawman that the author spends a lot of time to beat down, when it doesn't even sound like a reasonable assumption in the first place.
But it did get me thinking about the issues presented enough that I actually want to write more about them, so for a philosophy book, yeah, that's 5/5 due to achieving its goals!
