Yuval Noah Harari, writer of the critically-acclaimed New York Occasions bestseller and worldwide phenomenon Sapiens, comes back with an equally initial, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s long term, and our goal to upgrade individuals into gods.

Over the past century humankind has were able to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This might seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style-thorough, however riveting-famine, plague and war about Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow have already been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable makes of nature into manageable issues. For the very first time ever, more people die from feeding on too much than from eating too little; more folks die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more folks commit suicide than are killed by military, terrorists and bad guys put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to expire from binging at McDonalds than from getting blown up by Al Qaeda.

What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human being agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we established ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the tasks, dreams and nightmares that may shape the twenty-first century-from overcoming death to creating artificial lifestyle. It asks the essential queries: Where perform we move from here? And how will we protect this fragile globe from our very own damaging powers? This is the next stage of advancement. 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.
