Nick Bostrom is the director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford. He was interviewed by Ross Andersen, himself a freelance writer who often writes about technology for The Atlantic, where his interview with Bostrom was published on March 6, 2012.
The interview expressly covers the topic of the possibility of human extinction in the future. Bostrom’s answers are powerful, insightful, brilliant, and disturbing.
Rather than attempt to summarize this interview in a glib and journalistic fashion, I find it more eidetic to simply supply the link and allow the reader to become absorbed in the ghastly mystery of pondering human extinction and human future survival. Here is the interview, an article titled, "We’re Underestimating the Risk of Human Extinction."
