Hello everyone, 

We are excited to invite you to an informal virtual Book Club on Nick Bostrom’s latest work, "Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World." This gathering is part of the Foresight Institute's Existential Hope Program.

We will host three sessions, diving into different parts of the book. 

Book Club Format:

Our discussions will be informal and take place virtually Wednesdays at 6 PM CET, starting May 29th, 2024. This gives everyone a couple of weeks post the book's release in Europe on May 21st to get a copy and start their reading.
 

Application:

Schedule:

  1. Session 1 (May 29th): Discuss Part 1 & 2 of the book.
  2. Session 2 (June 5th): Cover Part 3 & 4, allowing enough time in between for everyone to catch up with the reading.
  3. Session 3 (June 12th): Wrap up with Part 5 & 6 of the book.
     

We hope to see many of you joining us for stimulating discussions and a deep dive into the fascinating themes of this book. 

Best,

Foresight Institute’s Existential Hope Team
