Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Sapiens showed us where we came from. In uncertain times, Homo Deus shows us where we’re going.
Yuval Noah Harari envisions a near future in which we face a new set of challenges. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the 21st century and beyond – from overcoming death to creating artificial life.
It asks the fundamental questions: how can we protect this fragile world from our own destructive power? And 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)

Brilliant vision of where we might be heading
Brilliant, insightful, well researched and thought-provoking vision of the future of mankind. Disturbing and saddening in parts to realise the accuracy of his observations and logical extrapolation into the Brave new world that may await us.

Read this... before we all get wiped out by AI :-)
Hadn't read the previous book, and it really isn't necessary to have done so.... although by the end you'll probably want to read it!
Full of fascinating ideas on the future and insights to the past. Quite heavy content which is probably best taken at a slower pace to allow digestion. The narrator is superb and really helps make it an easier book to listen to than you'd expect!
Read it... before human kind gets wiped out by artificial intelligence.... the robots are coming....

Great start, surprising, but missed a punch
A perfect follow up if Sapiens. He starts in the same surprising way of seeing things. However, towards the end, it gets too speculative without actually adding information.

Enjoyable- but extremely speculative.
I found the ideas' somewhat radical. Often the book moves into grey areas', but the logical threads are reasonably sound.
I would heartly recommend it.

Pretty interesting, though amazing how quickly time makes things seem slightly dated
This is very good and a lot of interesting stuff. It’s not quite as good as Sapiens but that is hard to surpass. It’s striking that some of the thoughts now seem a bit overtaken by developments since this was published just a few years ago. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Harari is currently writing something to reflect on Covid - the early part of the book is a bit dismissive of pandemics and seems a bit naive in retrospect!

Has a lot of data!
Dataism, Humanism even Jainism, this book covers a lot of isms. I enjoyed it and feel like I'm not alone in my view of the world and the impacts data and technology is reshaping our futures. The funny thing is, it already has changed society, but because it has happened so fast, a lot of people still don't even see it.
It took me two attempts to finish this book. It took me two years to return to this book because I was waiting for a new audible credit. It's almost impossible to maintain 100% focus on everything that is being said, but once I accepted that, I managed to get through it and learn enough to make the whole experience with while.
