Thinking About the Future with Anders Sandberg

Interviewed by Max More

Anders Sandberg has been thinking both critically and creatively about the future for several decades. I first got to know him and his thinking in the early 1990s and found someone who vision was remarkably close to my own. In this interview, Anders talks about the work he did for almost two decades at the Future of Humanity Institute and continuing today at Sweden’s Institute for the Future.

I asked Anders what kind of idea we can have of the future in a century or two, how seriously we should take existential risks, the changing attitudes toward life extension, biostasis, and transhumanist ideas, building a human community across time, how people can secure a high quality cryopreservation, and more.
