This thought-provoking book examines the interactions between time, politics, scientific evidence and philosophy in order to understand how the emergence of lethal challenges to civilisation, such as nuclear weapons, climate change and possibly artificial intelligence, is already generating a fledgling ‘politics for the future’, based on rational fear rather than utopian hope.

‘Too many political theorists and philosophers still pretend it's “business-as-usual” by ignoring the existential challenges posed to humankind by climate change, the specter of nuclear war, and unchecked AI. The Italian philosopher Furio Cerutti's great achievement in his provocative new book is to shake us out of our dogmatic slumbers. Cerutti demonstrates that we not only need to take those existential threats seriously but that they demand of us that we rethink, in far-reaching ways, the tasks of political philosophy.’
