Description
Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow is a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's future and our quest to upgrade ourselves into gods. Over the past century, we have made significant progress in managing famine, plague, and war, transforming these once-incomprehensible forces into manageable challenges. Today, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little, and more people die from old age than from infectious diseases. As we look to the future, Harari asks fundamental questions about our destiny and the quests we will undertake. He maps out the projects, dreams, and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century, from overcoming death to creating artificial life. This book offers a compelling and provocative vision of what is to come, and how we can protect our fragile world from our own destructive powers. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit, Harari provides a clear and riveting account of our future, and the choices we will face.
