Homo Deus

A Brief History of Tomorrow
Book • 2017
In 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow', Yuval Noah Harari examines the future of humanity, predicting that in the 21st century, humans will strive for happiness, immortality, and god-like powers.

The book discusses how technological developments, such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, will shape human society.

Harari speculates on the possibilities of overcoming death, creating artificial life, and the potential risks and philosophical implications of these advancements.

He also explores the impact of humanism, individualism, and transhumanism on our future and questions the continued dominance of humans in a world increasingly driven by data and algorithms.
