    “Book Descriptions: In this mini-book, Phil Torres argues that "longtermism"—an ideology closely associated with existential risks and championed by leading Effective Altruists like Toby Ord and Will MacAskill—is extremely dangerous. Written for students, journalists, and academics, Torres examines the origins of this ideology and how it could be used to justify a wide range of atrocities in the name of attaining a techno-utopian world in which astronomical amounts of "value" flood the visible universe.”
