The New York Times. BestsELLER

The author is Yuval Noah Harari. The New York Times. The phenomenon of bestseller and international phenomenon. It’s called Sapiens. He returned with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.

The past century has seen famine, plague, and war. Famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges, as Harari explains in his trademark style. 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 terrorists and criminals. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from eating fast food than from being killed by Al Qaeda.

What will replace famine, plague, and war? What are the self-made gods of planet earth going to do? There is a person called Homo Deus. The projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century include overcoming death and creating artificial life. Where do we go from here? Will we be able to protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? The next stage of evolution is this one. This is not a normal person.

With the same clarity and insight. It’s called Sapiens. An international hit. The New York Times. Harari maps out our future.
