HomoDeus

Author Yuval Noah Harari, known for the widely acclaimed New York Times bestseller book, Sapiens, returns with a new thought-provoking and compelling read. In this book, he delves into humanity’s future and the quest to elevate humans into gods.

Over the last century, humankind has achieved the impossible by controlling famine, plague, and war. Harari explains that these incomprehensible and uncontrollable natural forces have now become manageable challenges. Remarkably, more people now die from overeating than from starvation, and more people die of old age than infectious diseases. Additionally, suicide now surpasses the combined deaths caused by soldiers, terrorists, and criminals. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging fast food than from being a victim of Al Qaeda’s attacks.

In light of these tremendous achievements, Harari asks what will top humanity’s agenda in the future. As the self-made gods of this planet, what destiny will we choose for ourselves, and which quests will we embark upon? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams, and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century. The book raises fundamental questions about where we’re heading and how we can protect this fragile world from our destructive powers. It is a call to evolve to the next stage and conquer mortality by creating artificial life.

Harari’s new book guarantees the same level of insight, clarity, and international acclaim that made Sapiens such a phenomenal bestseller.
