What We Owe The Future: The Sunday Times Bestseller by William MacAskill is a transformative read that challenges you to rethink your role in shaping a sustainable future. This compelling philosophical work introduces the concept of longtermism, urging us to extend our moral responsibilities beyond the immediate present.

In this thought-provoking book, MacAskill asserts that merely addressing current crises like climate change and pandemics is not enough. He encourages us to:

  • Envision resilient civilizations capable of rebounding after collapse.
  • Cultivate value pluralism to embrace diverse perspectives and ideas.
  • Prepare for a future that includes sophisticated digital beings.

Lauded by influential voices such as Oliver Burkeman of the Guardian, who calls it "the most inspiring book on ethical living," and Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind, who describes it as "a monumental event," this book is not just an exploration of ethics; it is a call to action.

MacAskill's unique blend of optimism and realism offers readers not only invaluable insights but also actionable ideas to foster long-term thinking. With a clear narrative and engaging prose, What We Owe The Future invites you to reflect on how your choices can contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world for generations to come.

Join the conversation and take your first step toward understanding this essential moral mission today!

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
