I'm working on this because I think Bostrom's work is extremely important, and deserves a wider audience.
I first read Bostrom's work in 2010, during my undergraduate degree. It has been a major influence on many of the projects I've worked on since then. In particular, the many years I've spent working at 80,000 Hours.
(80,000 Hours is a career advising service which—among other things—helps people act on Bostrom's ideas about the urgency of addressing existential risks posed by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology.)
