Description
“Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow” is a thought-provoking book written by Israeli historian and author Yuval Noah Harari. Published in 2015, the book explores the future trajectory of human society and speculates about the potential paths that humanity might take in the coming decades.
Building upon the themes introduced in his previous book, “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind,” Harari examines how humans have evolved from hunter-gatherer societies to the present day, and then projects those trends into the future. He explores how technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and data-driven algorithms, are reshaping various aspects of human existence, including economics, politics, religion, and even the nature of consciousness itself.
In “Homo Deus,” Harari raises thought-provoking questions about the ethical, social, and philosophical implications of these developments. He explores the potential consequences of humans gaining unprecedented power over life and death, and he discusses the potential impact of these changes on traditional beliefs and structures.
The book is known for its bold and speculative insights, as well as its ability to spark discussions about the direction in which humanity is headed. Harari’s writing style is engaging and accessible, making complex ideas and concepts accessible to a wide range of readers.
