Interesting viewpoints

3 stars

It gives an interesting point of view of the challenges we're facing. Since I've read a lot about effective altruism already, nothing in this book was new to me. That's not on the book, I should have read this many years earlier. The book could easily have been two hours shorter with the same impact.
