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.
用户评价
##A must read. 表面上看起来是一本讲人类未来的书，但如作者自己所说，他并非在做预测,更不是危言耸听或者暗藏某个政治或者经济动机。更多的是作者结合目前人类科学和科技的发展、回顾人类历史和人性本身来探讨将来人类很有可能会面对的世界。感觉回到了大学时代，教授的智慧对话，引发学生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning，and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
评分 评分 评分##强烈推荐，确实如作者所说，这只是对未来的猜测，不过这样的未来正在发生。新一轮的革命属于算法。问问自己，人和机器人相比，未来还具备什么优势？-1400+
评分##Somewhat repetitive from time to time, but definitely worth every repetition!

评分 评分想起Coursera一门耶鲁开的美国宪法课上教授说到，率先给予女性选举权的是西部的怀俄明和犹他州，因为男女人口差距悬殊，目的是吸引女性前来定居。人权当然是靠争取来的，但它并不天生正确，而是因为有需要。哲学推理不能证明人人生而平等，之所以认可是因为权衡之后还是这样比较好。古时未必没有诞生过人文主义者，只是没有发展的土壤。事情会发生是因为可以，不是因为正确，如果人类可以被抛弃，为什么不？会有新的理论来为此作支撑。
评分##Commuting读物，终于读完了，影响非常大，在我看来这本书最核心的其实是瓦解自由意志，所以不会有几个人真正理解到这一层，因为理解就意味着否定人文主义自由主义和人类存在的意义，所以读完的那一刻，我内心的那个自我就已经跳楼自杀了。
