NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward the future of humanity, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.
Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda.
What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life and artificial intelligence. 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 provocative work of popular science is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.
With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
But as we stand on the verge of godhood, what new challenges will replace the old ones? The New Human Agenda: With famine, plague, and war no longer seen as uncontrollable forces of nature, Harari argues that humanity will aim for immortality, happiness, and divinity. What happens when we try to play God? Upgrading Humankind: Explore the profound implications of biotechnology and genetic engineering as Homo sapiens attempts to evolve into Homo deus. Is this the next stage of evolution, or the beginning of the end? The Rise of Dataism: Discover the emergence of a new religion where information is the ultimate value. What happens to human free will when external algorithms know us better than we know ourselves? The Future of Consciousness: This groundbreaking book examines the decoupling of intelligence from consciousness and asks the fundamental question: will a world dominated by super-intelligence and AI have any room left for the human spirit?

I just finished reading 'A Brief History of Tomorrow', and wow, it really makes you think about the future. The writing is engaging and the concepts are deep but accessible. Perfect for anyone curious about where humanity is headed!

Interesting, But Somewhat Dense
This book has some great insights, but I found some sections a bit heavy to get through. I appreciate the author's vision, though, and I'm glad I read it. I think it's great for anyone who loves philosophy or futurism.

Disappointed by the Condition
I received my copy of 'A Brief History of Tomorrow', but it arrived with some noticeable wear, which I didn't expect for a 'new condition' book. The content is intriguing, but I wish it had better quality upon arrival.
