Publisher's summary

Yuval Noah Harari, author of the best-selling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. Now, in Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of science, history, philosophy and every discipline in between.

Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the 21st 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. War is obsolete. You are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict. Famine is disappearing. You are at more risk of obesity than starvation. Death is just a technical problem. Equality is out - but immortality is in. What does our future hold?

Critic reviews

"Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. It will make you think in ways you had not thought before." (Daniel Kahneman, best-selling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow)

The scariest book I've read

Captivating but unnerving and frightening!
We better start thinking about the future of humanity and curb the power of algorithms with global treaties and policies...

Its a standalone book but Yuval really develops his themes well with fascinating ideas and anecdotes. Will def re-read these series of books in the future. They really get one thinking!
