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
##Somewhat repetitive from time to time, but definitely worth every repetition!
评分##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##Somewhat repetitive from time to time, but definitely worth every repetition!
评分##一瓶高浓度的心灵硫酸
评分##真的好啰嗦。。没有sapiens写的满，感觉疯狂灌水。
评分##如前作般，用普通题材构建庞大的思想，赫拉利的未来接近美丽新世界。人类永不满足，过去争夺土地与能源，未来则争夺进化与永生。人类对待其他物种的方式，也许预示神人将如何对待普通人类。未来没有疾病，饥荒与战争，没有未知，没有重复的体脑劳动，甚至没有痛苦，永生成为现实，神人与数据成为新的上帝与宗教。人类能否由此获得更多的幸福？也许整体可能，个体未必。吊诡之处在，每当人类自认无所不知，无所不能，事后就被证明是愚蠢与自大。人类简史与未来简史，于我的意义在，串起近期的很多阅读。欧洲史的现代社会发端，西方政治传统的自由主义，源泉的个人主义，中东地缘现状，博物学的物种平等，科学史与科学哲学，高频交易，量子理论与相对论，必然的互联网未来，基因的生物工程，宗教的秩序，道金斯与平克。可见作者的知识脉络与梳理能力。
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##角度的确很宏大 可以受到不少启发 作者太博学了 同时又讲的浅显易懂 服
