Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. 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 the future of humanity 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 and artificial intelligence. 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 provocative work of popular science 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. But as we stand on the verge of godhood what new challenges will replace the old ones? The New Human Agenda: With famine plague and war no longer seen as uncontrollable forces of nature Harari argues that humanity will aim for immortality happiness and divinity. What happens when we try to play God? Upgrading Humankind: Explore the profound implications of biotechnology and genetic engineering as Homo sapiens attempts to evolve into Homo deus . Is this the next stage of evolution or the beginning of the end? The Rise of Dataism: Discover the emergence of a new religion where information is the ultimate value. What happens to human free will when external algorithms know us better than we know ourselves? The Future of Consciousness: This groundbreaking book examines the decoupling of intelligence from consciousness and asks the fundamental question: will a world dominated by super-intelligence and AI have any room left for the human spirit?
