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 humanity’s future, 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. 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.
With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
用戶評價
##機場讀物雞頭（complexity wise) 。什麼都說瞭一點，什麼也沒說。大概是一種，here are some interesting facts, what do you think? 的讀物。
##這是這幾年來我讀過的覺得最好看的一本書，大概沒有“之一”。書中有太多興奮點，從頭到尾。有些是開眼界，有些是我的睏惑點。準備什麼時候再讀一遍，做點筆記。
##通過Audible有聲書聽讀完的。當然並不贊同一些觀點，但是的確能夠激發新的思考，比如：人本主義的閤理性，感受和經曆的價值，信息是否應該為王，人能否為自己的生命負責。
##角度的確很宏大 可以受到不少啓發 作者太博學瞭 同時又講的淺顯易懂 服
##Commuting讀物，終於讀完瞭，影響非常大，在我看來這本書最核心的其實是瓦解自由意誌，所以不會有幾個人真正理解到這一層，因為理解就意味著否定人文主義自由主義和人類存在的意義，所以讀完的那一刻，我內心的那個自我就已經跳樓自殺瞭。
