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.
##如前作般,用普通題材構建龐大的思想,赫拉利的未來接近美麗新世界。人類永不滿足,過去爭奪土地與能源,未來則爭奪進化與永生。人類對待其他物種的方式,也許預示神人將如何對待普通人類。未來沒有疾病,飢荒與戰爭,沒有未知,沒有重復的體腦勞動,甚至沒有痛苦,永生成為現實,神人與數據成為新的上帝與宗教。人類能否由此獲得更多的幸福?也許整體可能,個體未必。吊詭之處在,每當人類自認無所不知,無所不能,事後就被證明是愚蠢與自大。人類簡史與未來簡史,於我的意義在,串起近期的很多閱讀。歐洲史的現代社會發端,西方政治傳統的自由主義,源泉的個人主義,中東地緣現狀,博物學的物種平等,科學史與科學哲學,高頻交易,量子理論與相對論,必然的互聯網未來,基因的生物工程,宗教的秩序,道金斯與平剋。可見作者的知識脈絡與梳理能力。
評分##看過homo sapeisns或沒時間的話可以直接看第三章,腦洞蠻大的。當然,還是沒改稍嫌囉嗦的毛病……
評分##寫曆史水平的高低在於能否對同一曆史事件的多角度觀察。

評分##強烈推薦,確實如作者所說,這隻是對未來的猜測,不過這樣的未來正在發生。新一輪的革命屬於算法。問問自己,人和機器人相比,未來還具備什麼優勢?-1400+
評分##機場讀物雞頭(complexity wise) 。什麼都說瞭一點,什麼也沒說。大概是一種,here are some interesting facts, what do you think? 的讀物。
評分##A must read. 錶麵上看起來是一本講人類未來的書,但如作者自己所說,他並非在做預測,更不是危言聳聽或者暗藏某個政治或者經濟動機。更多的是作者結閤目前人類科學和科技的發展、迴顧人類曆史和人性本身來探討將來人類很有可能會麵對的世界。感覺迴到瞭大學時代,教授的智慧對話,引發學生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning,and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
