Book
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
"Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will
make you think in ways you had not thought before." (Daniel Kahneman,
author of Thinking Fast, and Slow). Yuval Noah Harari, author of the
bestselling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, envisions a
not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. Now, in
Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of science,
history, philosophy and every discipline in between. Homo Deus explores
the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first
century - from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the
fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we
protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the
next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. War is obsolete You are more
likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict Famine is
disappearing You are at more risk of obesity than starvation Death is
just a technical problem Equality is out - but immortality is in What
does our future hold?
