Description

Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow explores the future of humanity, where the impossible has become manageable. Over the past century, we've made significant progress in controlling famine, plague, and war, transforming these forces of nature into manageable challenges. Today, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little, and more from old age than from infectious diseases. As we continue to upgrade humans, we're faced with new questions about our destiny and the world we'll create. What will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of our agenda? How will we protect our fragile world from our own destructive powers? Harari maps out our future, asking fundamental questions about where we go from here and how we'll navigate the challenges of the 21st century. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit, Harari examines the projects, dreams, and nightmares that will shape our world. This is the next stage of evolution, and Homo Deus is a thought-provoking exploration of what's to come.
